Housed within the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the Rehabilitation Psychology & Neuropsychology (RPN) team provides comprehensive care to patients and families facing chronic and/or new-onset health conditions with a focus on helping individuals with disability achieve optimal health and independence. As a part of your larger medical and rehabilitation team we provide services in both the hospital (inpatient) and outpatient clinical settings. With research as a key mission of the University of Michigan, our RPN team includes rehabilitation researchers at the top of their fields.
What is Rehabilitation Psychology?
The RPN providers at the University of Michigan offer services for pediatric, adolescent/young adult and adult patients. The focus of rehabilitation psychology includes assisting individuals and families adjust to changes or chronic delays in physical and/or cognitive status secondary to developmental disability, illness and injury. Our team commonly works with individuals who present with spinal/back injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, amputation, chronic pain, developmental disabilities and debility due to severe medical problems.
While our clinical efforts focus on direct treatment of patients, the research team in Rehabilitation Psychology works to understand congenital and acquired illnesses and injuries and how we can best treat and study these conditions. From developing computer based assessment and outcome tools and questionnaires, to using gaming technology to help ensure optimal self-care after a spinal cord injury our team has research programs and collaborations that are internationally recognized and making a difference.
