The Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation program at Toho University Omori Medical Center includes both a physician evaluation and therapy program.The program offers a combination of monitored exercise, education and psychosocial support specifically designed for the specialized needs of our patients with cardiac or pulmonary disease.
With your committed participation, we can help you reach your best possible level of physical function and a clear understanding of your own health situation. You will also learn more about the current treatments and prevention strategies for cardiac or pulmonary disorders. A structured rehabilitation program is established to maximize return of functional abilities, and may include physical (PT), occupational (OT), and/or speech-language and cognitive therapy (SLP). In the treatment plan, we also incorporate specialized exercise programs, medications, and assistive devices when needed.
A full range of spasticity therapies are available, including botulinum toxin injections. Patients may also be referred for possible participation in clinical trials of emerging treatments for stroke recovery and rehabilitation, such as robot-aided rehabilitation or non-invasive brain stimulation therapy. We work closely with PT, OT and SLP staff at Toho University Omori Medical Center to coordinate therapy and achieve the best possible outcome.
