Andrii Skorbatiuk

Following the injury, Andrii was in critical condition and required round-the-clock care. He struggled with basic daily actions, independent breathing, eating, and interacting with those around him.

The primary challenges at the beginning of rehabilitation included:

• Absence of independent movement;

• Inability to speak;

• Tracheostomy dependency;

• Gastrostomy dependency;

• Need for continuous medical support;

• Need for gradual verticalization;

• Restoration of basic body functions.

Andrii’s rehabilitation program was developed step by step, taking into account his condition, endurance, and response to physical exertion. The multidisciplinary team focused on safely restoring basic functions while making every moment count toward his recovery.

During the rehabilitation process, the specialists focused on several key areas:

• Restoring independent breathing;
• Gradually regaining speech;
• Verticalization and posture training;
• Developing motor activity;
• Preparing for walking and gait training;
• Preventing complications;
• Maintaining overall physical condition.

In complex cases, it is crucial for the patient to receive comprehensive, integrated care rather than isolated treatments. Andrii was supported by a dedicated team that continuously evaluated his condition, adjusted exertion levels, and guided him step by step through each stage of recovery.
