How we treat traumatic brain injury 

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is typically caused by car accidents, falls, brain surgery, brain bleeding, aneurysms, and brain tumors. Our inpatient rehabilitation team treats even the most severe brain injuries at AVH’s rehabilitation unit outside Pittsburgh.

This multidisciplinary team is made up of hospitalists, rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, dietitians, registered nurses, and aides. They provide one-on-one therapies to help patients receive the best possible outcome after a TBI.

Some of our state-of-the-art therapy equipment includes:

  • BITS®: The Bioness Integrated Therapy System (BITS) has an interactive touchscreen and provides 24 therapy programs and four assessments focused on visual motor skills, visual and auditory processing, cognition, and endurance.
  • DriveABLE™: This computer-based tool helps assess a patient’s ability to safely drive.
  • Virtual reality systems: Virtual reality (VR) tools can help patients with TBI improve balance and range of motion.
