Program & Goals<\/h2>\n

The department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation offers comprehensive care to individuals with an acquired brain injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI) with the goal of maximizing function and quality of life. We offer inpatient care as well as our specialized outpatient Carolina Concussion and Mild TBI Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Integrated Care Model<\/h2>\n

Our physiatrists develop and oversee an individualized care plan for each patient which is implemented by our team of rehabilitation professionals. Our services are available to patients with acquired and traumatic brain injury during acute hospitalization at UNC Hospitals, at the UNC Health Care Rehabilitation Center or our sub-acute rehabilitation at UNC-Rex.<\/p>\n

After discharge from the hospital, we continue rehabilitation care, education, research and advocacy in the UNC PM&R Outpatient Clinic and through our community outreach programs.<\/p>\n

Our faculty members directly provide spasticity management, botulinum toxin and joint injections, nerve conduction studies, electromyography studies (EMGs), as well as neuropsychological and psychological evaluation and treatment.<\/p>\n
