Idaho: Brain Injury Treatment
When a Idaho traumatic brain injury victim enters rehabilitation, several goals are established. The purpose in rehabilitation is to stabilize medical and rehabilitation issues related to the brain injury, prevent secondary complications, restore lost functional abilities, provide devices or strategies to help with independence, and help the family and patient make changes to home living.
In most rehabilitation centers, a physiatrist leads the program. A neuropsychologist is also on hand to assess changes in thinking and behavior. Such changes could include poor memory, poor concentration and decision making, inability to speak and impulsivity.
A rehabilitation nurse will focus on care for the patient’s nutrition and inability to move, speak or use the bathroom. A physical therapist will work to help the patient regain the ability to walk. This type or therapist will assess the brain injury victim’s balance, strength, posture, movement, pain and need for a wheelchair. An occupational therapist will help the patient regain everyday skills such as cooking, banking and food shopping.
When a brain injury is caused by another's negligence, the victim may be able to recover compensation for their medical bills and other expenses. To find out if you are eligible for compensation, fill out the form on the right and a Idaho brain injury lawyer will review your claim, at no cost to you.
