Rehabilitation in Henan — assessment and programme
Ten days, nine nights, built around the rehabilitation department at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Assessment comes before the programme, with two low-intensity outings in between. Intensity is set by the therapist from the assessment, not from a fixed template.
Itinerary
- 1Arrive in Zhengzhou
Transfer and check-in near the rehabilitation campus. Your coordinator takes in prior records, imaging and operative notes, and confirms the assessment schedule.
- 2Functional assessmentClinical appointment
The rehabilitation team carries out a baseline assessment: motor function, balance and gait, activities of daily living, and swallowing or speech where relevant. A written goal plan and a recommended programme length are issued the same day.
- 3Therapy beginsClinical appointment
One-to-one sessions begin on the assessed plan, usually two to three a day, combining physiotherapy and occupational therapy. The therapist records tolerance daily.
- 4TherapyClinical appointment
Continued sessions, with speech therapy, swallowing work or cardiac rehabilitation added as needed.
- 5Therapy and mid-point reviewClinical appointment
The therapist reviews progress and adjusts the goals. A family member or carer attends a training session.
- 6TherapyClinical appointment
Continued sessions. Where stamina allows, walking in the hospital grounds is used as a transfer-of-function exercise.
- 7Yuntai Mountain, gentle routes
A low-intensity outing cleared by the therapist: the flat stream-side path at Tanpu Gorge, with the option to turn back at any point. Internal shuttles cut the walking down.
- 8Shaolin Temple, cultural visit
Mostly vehicle time and the demonstration. Walking in the temple precinct is kept under an hour with a rest stop.
- 9Discharge review and home programmeClinical appointment
Final functional review measured against the baseline; written discharge report, home programme and follow-up schedule. Your coordinator hands over the translated set.
- 10Departure
