Absolutely. Work is extremely beneficial and therapeutic, and should be the goal of anyone’s rehabilitation after TBI. You might find employment challenging after suffering a TBI. However, getting back to work and on a regular schedule is important for your quality of life, your finances, and your personal fulfillment.
During rehabilitation, a physical therapist and an occupational therapist will work with you on skills necessary for optimal function each day. You will work on improving your upper limb strength and fine motor control skills needed for the workplace. Also, you will work on the lower limb pattern to strengthen your core and improve your gait. Then working with a community rehabilitation program and a vocational counselor, you can seek a job for which you are best suited, getting back into the workforce with real pay.
