Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Johns Hopkins Bayview Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit

At the Johns Hopkins Bayview Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, our mission is to provide comprehensive inpatient, team-based rehabilitation to improve the health, function and well-being of our patients. Our 33-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit offers inpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy for patients who require intensive rehabilitation, including specialty programs in geriatric and stroke rehabilitation.

A team of experts, including an on-site physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, works together to help patients regain function, become as independent as possible and return to a community setting. Our adult and stroke specialty rehabilitation programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and The Joint Commission.

Specialized Programs

The Johns Hopkins Bayview Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit has several specialty programs available to patients throughout their stay:

Yoga Program

Patients practice yoga guided by a trained yoga professional, with support from our therapists. These sessions are adapted to personal rehabilitation goals and condition, while promoting standing tolerance, balance, breath support, confidence, posture and mobility.

Recumbent Cross-Trainer

The device simulates walking and offers a low-impact, whole-body workout. We use it to help patients improve endurance by safely increasing intensity during cardiovascular exercise. For patients with limb weakness or paralysis, the harness attachment supports the use of the affected limb to promote neuromuscular recovery.

Rehabilitation Gym

Our inpatient rehabilitation gym offers opportunities for many activities that assist with improving walking, stair climbing, balance, strength, range of motion, endurance and overall independence. Our gym includes a harness system for patients with weight-bearing restrictions.

Mock Kitchen and Activities of Daily Living Suite

The mock kitchen allows patients to practice daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, appliance use and laundry. While the activities of daily living suite is set up for practicing common household and personal hygiene tasks, such as making the bed or brushing teeth. These functional tasks help patients  regain skills needed for independent living.

Bimanual Arm Trainer

Bimanual arm trainer (BAT) uses simultaneous arm movements to improve strength and range of motion of an affected arm after a stroke. This device gamifies the therapy approach to improve engagement and repetitions, which are important for neuro-motor recovery.

Community Recreation Room

Our community room is a perfect space for recreational therapy, which uses games and other activities to aid in psychological and physical recovery and well-being.

Car Simulator

The car simulator allows patients to practice getting in and out of a sedan. This helps people who have  movement restrictions after surgery or limb loss, as well as those who have conditions affecting balance, range of motion, mobility and strength.
