Program Description:

​

The inpatient Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Program at the Regional Rehabilitation Centre at Hamilton Health Sciences is a High Intensity Spinal Cord Injury Regional Rehabilitation Program. Patients admitted to the program are from the Hamilton and surrounding areas. The program serves adults who have experienced a spinal cord injury (SCI) either due to a traumatic injury or non-traumatic condition. The unit has 13 beds and serves approximately 85 patients/year. Patients are served by a multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, nurses, occupational and physical therapist and assistants, social workers, pharmacists, recreation therapists and dieticians. Many patients continue their therapy program in the outpatient program also located in the Regional Rehabilitation Centre. While involved in the in- and outpatient programming patients may also participate in the hydrotherapy programs housed at the centre.
