ncludes physicians trained in neurology with subsequent fellowship training in rehabilitation, as well as physicians who have completed residency training in physical medicine and rehabilitation. We offer a full complement of rehabilitation services in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Inpatient rehabilitation services are provided at the University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute (UM Rehab). Faculty provide medical care to individuals on the stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury/multi-trauma units at the Institute. Rehabilitation care is also provided for individuals with other neurologic diagnoses, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, anoxic encephalopathy, and cancer-related neurologic disease. We additionally care for patients with orthopedic trauma and amputations. The University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is the largest rehabilitation hospital in Maryland and serves a broad geographic region.
Outpatient rehabilitation physician services are available at UM Rehab. Specialty services include spasticity management, with treatments such as intrathecal baclofen pump therapy and botulinum toxin injections. Additional services include an amputee clinic and follow-up clinics for individuals with spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.
Faculty also provide consultative services to the Neurology and Neurosurgery Services at the University of Maryland Medical Center and the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. Rehabilitation consultation ensures that patients with acute neurologic and traumatic conditions can transition efficiently to the next level of care.
