Neuro-Integrative Functional Rehabilitation And
Habilitation (Neuro-IFRAH®) is an approach originated by Waleed Al-Oboudi,
MOT, OTR/L. Mr. Al-Oboudi is renowned internationally for his
superior concepts and highly effective and unmatched clinical skills. The unique
name of the approach was originated by the author to give an overall idea to the
reader regarding the scope of this approach. The word Neuro was selected
because this approach is intended for patients who are affected by lesions at
the level of the brain stem and above. The word Integrative was selected to
describe that this approach is integrative on all levels. It is integrative of
all systems of the person as well as all information past and present. It is
integrative of all internal as well as external variables and combinations and
products of these variables affecting patient response, normal or otherwise. It
is integrative and inclusive of fields of study as well as bodies of
information. It is integrative in terms of variables related to therapists, the
rehabilitation team, rehabilitation programs, facilities, home, community, and
other environmental variables…..It is integrative at all these levels and much
more. The word Functional means meets
intended purpose or need, thus the word functional was selected because this
approach is functional. All aspects of rehabilitation and habilitation are
individualized to meet the patient's intended purpose or need. The words
Rehabilitation and Habilitation were selected because this is what we do in
therapy. It encompasses many aspects of therapy, thus there is no reason to find
other words. One aspect of rehabilitation is to restore to the fullest physical,
mental, social, vocational, and economic status - thus rehabilitation is not limited.
However, our patients are not only re-acquiring skills, they are learning new
ones as well. Thus Habilitation occurs throughout alongside with rehabilitation.
The powerful words used in the name of the approach gives a small glimpse of
the wide scope of this truly dynamic, highly individualized, whole person,
functional, inclusive, and visionary approach.
