What does a rehabilitation therapist do?

Rehabilitation therapists promote patients' rehabilitation through drugs, exercise training and instruments. Responsible for receiving patients' rehabilitation consultation, functional examination and evaluation, arranging short-term rehabilitation training programs, recommending some qualified patients to buy and use intelligent rehabilitation equipment, carrying out long-term passive stretching exercise, preventing muscle atrophy, promoting or maintaining patients' functional recovery and other related treatments.

Pay attention to observe the condition, treatment effect and reaction, and deal with it in time if there is any reaction; And discuss the treatment plan with clinicians in time, put forward reasonable suggestions, guide family members and nurses, and participate in the implementation of relevant necessary rehabilitation activities.

With the continuous development of medical level, patients pay more and more attention to rehabilitation health care.

From postpartum recovery to cerebral palsy and hemiplegia, from elderly disability to sports health care and rehabilitation treatment for the disabled, it is inseparable from the care of rehabilitation teachers. However, there is a serious shortage of rehabilitation therapists and treatment beds in China, which makes it difficult to popularize rehabilitation treatment.

According to statistics, the proportion of rehabilitation doctors in the basic population in China is about 0.4:65438+ 10,000, which is far lower than that in developed countries. Neither quantity nor service quality can meet the needs of society.
