The Nisa Hospitals Neurorehabilitation Unit (NeuroRHB) cares for and treats patients who have suffered brain injuries or other neurological disorders. The aim of the NeuroRHB is to provide specialized, tailored, and cross-disciplinary neurological rehabilitation that combines close personal treatment with the latest scientific and technological developments. NeuroRHB was established at the end of 1999 at the Hospital NISA Valencia al Mar (Valencia). It was the first centre for brain injury in the Region of Valencia and was one of the first hospitals in Spain to admit resident patients with acquired brain injury. Nowadays, NeuroRHB has 4 additional hospitals in different locations in Spain. The use of new technologies and innovative concepts in neurorehabilitation together with a vocation to scientific research place the Neurorehabilitation Unit at the forefront of brain injury care.

The Nisa Hospitals Neurorehabilitation Unit has a dedicated team that conducts research into the application of new technologies to improve the quality of the care provided to patients with brain injury. The research group is currently conducting research in the following areas:

  • Virtual reality for motor and cognitive rehabilitation
  • Tele rehabilitation using ICTs
  • Clinical and genetic recovery factors
  • Structural and functional neuroimaging.

The research group’s research activity includes participating in national and international conferences, publishing research papers in scientific journals, collaborating in clinical trials, carrying out R&D projects, and collaborating with universities to help PhD students with their doctoral theses.

Moreover, in 2014 the Nisa Hospitals Neurorehabilitation Unit has developed an App with hints and tips to help with the care of patients with brain injury.
