Comprehensive recovery programs for individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), designed to maximize mobility, restore function, and improve quality of life through expert neuro-rehabilitation.
Paraplegia (paralysis of the legs) or quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs).
Inability to feel touch, temperature, or pain below the level of injury.
Increased muscle tone and stiffness, leading to uncontrolled movements or spasms.
Difficulty managing bowel and bladder function, requiring specialized training.
Neuropathic (nerve) pain that can be persistent and difficult to manage.
Risk of pressure sores, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections.
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-altering event that affects movement, sensation, and body functions below the level of the injury. Rehabilitation is the cornerstone of recovery, helping individuals adapt and regain as much independence as possible.
At Sajjad Rehabilitation & Therapy Centre, we focus on a holistic approach, addressing the physical, functional, and emotional aspects of recovery to help patients lead fulfilling lives.
Rehabilitation for SCI focuses on leveraging neuroplasticity to strengthen remaining neural connections and teaching the body new ways to perform tasks. It is a comprehensive process aimed at:
Starting a comprehensive rehabilitation program as early as medically feasible is critical. Intensive therapy helps prevent muscle atrophy, maintain joint range of motion, and sets the foundation for long-term functional gains. It is a proactive approach to maximizing recovery potential.
Evaluation of injury level, muscle function, sensation, and functional goals.
Mastering bed mobility, transfers (bed to wheelchair), and sitting balance.
Strengthening unaffected muscles to support transfers and mobility.
Learning to navigate different terrains and overcome obstacles independently.
For incomplete injuries, using body-weight support systems to relearn walking.
Working with occupational therapists to regain independence in daily tasks.
Our multidisciplinary approach includes:
Family is a crucial part of the SCI rehabilitation team. We provide extensive training on:
Recovery from SCI is a lifelong journey of adaptation and learning. The goal of rehabilitation is not always to "cure" the paralysis but to empower the individual to live a full, active, and independent life. Progress is measured by functional achievements, not just motor recovery.

The main goal is to maximize independence and safety by improving strength, mobility, transfers, daily function, and use of assistive devices where needed. Rehabilitation also helps prevent complications such as pressure injuries, stiffness, and deconditioning.
Walking recovery depends on the level and completeness of the spinal cord injury. Some people with incomplete injuries regain walking ability, while others focus on wheelchair mobility, transfer skills, and independent self-care.
Rehabilitation usually starts once the patient is medically stable and cleared by the treating team after surgery or acute care. Early rehabilitation helps preserve joint movement, protect skin, and begin functional retraining.
Yes, a complete rehabilitation program often includes bowel and bladder routines, pressure relief education, transfer training, dressing, bathing, and other activities of daily living, not just muscle strengthening.
Recovery after spinal cord injury often takes months and may continue in stages over a longer period. Many patients need ongoing home programs and periodic reassessment even after the first rehabilitation phase is complete.
Yes, home-based follow-up is often important after discharge. Patients may continue mobility practice, stretching, strengthening, pressure care, and functional training at home with professional guidance and caregiver support.
