Activity-Based Rehabilitation

Activity-Based Rehabilitation (ABR) is a therapeutic approach focused on helping individuals regain movement and function by engaging in meaningful, goal-oriented activities. Instead of only doing isolated exercises, patients practice tasks similar to daily life activities, such as walking or reaching. This method promotes neural recovery and strength by encouraging the nervous system to adapt and rewire itself through active participation. ABR emphasizes personalized goals, motivating patients to recover skills that improve independence and quality of life. It's commonly used for neurological conditions like stroke or spinal cord injury, fostering functional improvement through targeted, purposeful activity.
