Fall Prevention/Balance Rehabilitation
Dr L. Atanelov, MD Balance Evaluation
You are at a high risk of falls if you fell twice this year or broke a bone due to fall and need to see a physician with expertise in both movement impairments and medical care. If you have not fallen, but worry about falling, we may be able to help you avoid unpleasant consequences of falls like breaking your hip or hitting your head on the ground. Our physician and therapy providers work as a team to help you.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke Rehabilitation and Post-Stroke Recovery
Stroke survivors commonly receive rehabilitation overseen by physicians while in hospital. Unfortunately, most are discharged from hospital with ongoing rehabilitation needs (e.g. not being able to walk outdoors, feed self, etc...), but no longer have a rehabilitation specialist physician coordinating and managing their rehabilitation care. Our physician with expertise in stroke rehabilitation can help with medical and rehabilitative interventions. Our physician and therapy providers work as a team to help you.
