BRAIN OR HEAD INJURY REHABILITATION

Transformative Path to Recovery

MOTIONrehab offers a transformative path to recovery, helping you regain your mobility, hand & arm function, balance and independence after brain or head injury.

An estimated 1 million people in the UK live with long term disabilities as a result of brain injury. A brain injury can be caused by tumors, infections or lack of oxygen to the brain, or it may be because of trauma to the head after a fall, road accident or accident at work or home.

How MOTIONrehab can help in Brain / Head Injury recovery

Living with reduced arm function,mobility, balance and independence after a brain or head injury can be overwhelming. Finding the right support can feel like an additional challenge. At MOTIONRehab we have remarkable success in improving the quality of lives of adults and children who have suffered a brain or head injury, helping individuals to optimise independence, accelerate recovery and reach their full potential.

While damaged brain cells do not regenerate, the brain and nervous system have an incredible ability to adapt and relearn. Our specialist neurological rehabilitation promotes this process by combining specialist physiotherapy and exercise with innovative robotics and advanced rehabilitation technology. These tools allow for repeated, targeted movements—essential for the brain to reorganise and rebuild lost skills.

Our Innovative Evidence based Approach to Brain / Head Injury Rehabilitation

MOTIONrehab focuses on practical, everyday improvements—whether it is standing up from a chair, getting to the toilet, moving around the community, riding a bike, or even returning to work. No matter where you are in your recovery journey, we can help.

Using the latest rehabilitation technology, including robotics and advanced rehabilitation technology, we provide intensive therapy with a high number of precise repetitions. Research shows that this approach leads to the best possible outcomes.

Recovering from a brain or head injury takes time, but with the right support, progress is possible. Whether you are recovering from a recent injury or have been facing challenges for years, MOTIONrehab is here to help you, or your loved one reach their full potential.

BRAIN OR HEAD INJURY REHABILITATION

Frequently Asked Questions

Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)

ABI is the term used for an injury to the brain. ABI can be classified as traumatic or non-traumatic.

Non-traumatic Brain Injury

Injury to the brain that does not include trauma or direct impact to the brain. This may include loss of oxygen due to medical issues, drug use or accidents such drowning or poisoning.

Anoxic Brain Injury

Anoxic brain injuries are caused by a complete lack of oxygen being provided to the brain, which results in the death of brain cells after approximately four minutes of oxygen deprivation.

Hypoxic Brain Injury

Hypoxic Brain Injuries are brain injuries that form due to a restriction on the oxygen being supplied to the brain. The restricted flow of oxygen causes the gradual death and impairment of brain cells.

Traumatic Brain Injury

The brain is protected and suspended in fluid inside the skull. Despite the hard bony case of the skull a trauma or physical impact to the head can result in damage to the brain. These are usually called Traumatic Brain Injuries, or TBI.

Following a TBI, injury to the brain can be caused by a number of different factors. The direct impact to the brain can cause bruising and swelling which affects how the brain works. In more severe cases the impact can cause the brain to shake about inside the skull, resulting in tearing of fine nerve fibres and blood vessels found within the brain tissue. Lastly the brain can bang into the inside of the skull causing more bruising and bleeding.

The severity of a TBI is usually measured by the length of time someone has lost consciousness for. Generally speaking the longer the time unconscious the more severe the brain injury.

Brain injury can result in someone having difficulties with any of the function controlled by the brain. This is very unique and no two injuries are the same. It can include difficulties with speech, vision, thinking skills, personality and mood. ABI will also affect the physical functions controlled by the brain. These may include difficulties with movement, sensation, balance, strength, muscle spasticity and co-ordination.

Rehabilitation is aimed at improving these difficulties so that someone can do as much for themselves as possible at home and whilst out and about.

Many people experience fatigue after brain injury, but the exact underlying cause is poorly understood. Often individuals can feel exhausted or sleepy, they lack energy, they feel weak, or have difficulties motivating themselves. For others it may worsen the difficulties they experience with their thinking skills and they experience greater problems with memory, they become irritable or dizzy. Rehabilitation can help by improving your physical fitness to reduce symptoms or by providing strategies to pace activities and manage symptoms.

MOTIONrehab provide an outpatient service, so we usually support people after they have left hospital, however we are happy to give advice at any stage.

The current understanding of brain injury would suggest that change happens at it’s fastest in the first two years after a brain injury, however crucially it does not stop at this point. Neuroplasticity, i.e. the re-wring of the nervous system is constantly happening and can be influenced by rehabilitation through repetition and practice.

MOTIONrehab® starts with an assessment to identify our patient’s difficulties and find out what is important to them. After this we put together a personalised treatment programme using hands-on therapy, exercises and state of the art rehabilitation technology to help individuals achieve their goals We will then discuss the options for your rehabilitation including whether intensive rehabilitation would work for you.

At your first appointment, your therapist will take a detailed medical history and discuss your current condition and any relevant background information. A clinical examination will then be carried out, including an assessment of your movement, function, and what you are currently able to do. This helps us build a clear understanding of your needs. Following the assessment, we will work with you to discuss your treatment goals and aims, and use this information to formulate a personalised therapy plan tailored to your specific objectives.
