Overview

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation that remediates impairments and provide mobility, take part in ADL’s and overall improve quality of life. Provide services to individuals and populations (community rehabilitation) to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout the life span. Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy focuses on individuals who are suffering from cardio-pulmonary conditions. Physical therapy in cardiopulmonary - often In charge of managing life support for people in ICU and promote to live independently. Cardiac rehabilitation serves as a comprehensive, long-term progression involving medical evaluation, prescribed exercise, cardiac risk factor modification, education, and counseling. These programs are designed to limit the physiological and psychological effects of cardiac illness and reduce the risk of sudden death.

Overview

Sound knowledge of neurology adds so much to patient rehabilitation to maintain the highest standards in delivering patient care. There is a high demand for physiotherapists trained in neurology as there is enormous growth in the prevalence of stroke cases and other neurological assaults globally. Recent advances in neurologically injured patients meet the demands for functional recovery and healthy and standard social life. The department has got eminent teaching faculty who are well versed in teaching ug and pg students.

 Ongoing Research Projects
