Rehabilitation

What we do

Our department helps patients recovering from illness or injury regain their physical independence and safely return to their home and social lives.

We conduct comprehensive clinical evaluations to diagnose issues affecting daily activities and quality of life. Based on functional recovery predictions, our specialists establish tailored rehabilitation goals and prescribe personalized therapy programs, including prosthetics/orthotics fitting and Botulinum toxin (Botox) therapy for spasticity as needed.

Continuous, specialized care aligned with each stage of recovery is provided across three facilities: Kameda General Hospital, Kameda Rehabilitation Hospital, and Kameda Clinic.
