Institutional Based Rehabilitation (IBR) The majority of Navajeevana’s clients visiting the centre suffer from physical disabilities caused by neurological problems, accidents, stroke, cerebral palsy and hearing impairment. Our dedicated institutional based rehabilitation (IBR) department caters to these clients; providing necessary services to back up community based rehabilitation efforts. The IBR department is broadly divided into units that deal with therapy offering physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and counselling, and production – producing mobility aides (wheelchairs, crutches) special seating and prosthetic and orthotic devices. Prosthetics and Orthotics With highly trained staff, this department manufactures a number of aides for children and adults with different types of structural deformities. Clients are referred to this department by field volunteers or by hospitals in the area. Artificial limbs, structural supports and correctional shoes are manufactured here using imported raw material and financial support from Motivation enables Navajeevana to give these aides to clients at 20% of the actual cost.

On the first visit an assessment is made and a treatment plan is detailed. At times this could entail twice weekly visits to the unit. Treatment can begin when the patient is just a few days old. The unit sees both children and adults with problems ranging from back pain to cerebral palsy.
