Spinal Cord Injury Treatment in Hope Abilitation Medical Center (Hope Abilitation Medical Center, LLC)

About the clinic

Hope Abilitation Medical Center (Hope AMC) in Dubai provides specialized pediatric rehabilitation for children with spinal cord injuries. The facility features a multidisciplinary team of 13 specialists who focus on improving mobility through intensive therapy and specialized equipment. Families can access a dedicated orthotics clinic and home therapy programs designed for international patients.

Diagnostics and evaluation

The rehabilitation process begins with a precise evaluation of the child's physical state. The center uses advanced imaging to understand the extent of the spinal cord injury and its impact on the body.

MRI and CT imaging. These scans provide detailed views of bone structure and soft tissue to guide the therapy plan.
Specialist assessment. A team of therapists evaluates motor skills, muscle tone, and postural alignment.

Intensive rehabilitation methods

The clinic offers high-frequency programs to help children gain strength and independence. These methods use specialized tools to help movements that are difficult on the ground.

UGUL therapy. This method uses a specialized cage for segmental body suspension. The 3-week program includes daily sessions lasting 2-6 hours. It uses resistance exercises and beeswax application to build muscle strength in a reduced-gravity environment.
Spider cage therapy. Using a universal exercise unit, therapists suspend the child with flexible ropes. This allows for safe sitting and standing while maintaining correct body alignment.
CME therapy. This psychomotor approach includes 3,000+ dynamic exercises. It provokes active motor responses and is available for infants as young as one month old.
Dynamic suit therapy (DUNAG-02). Patients wear a suit with elastic strings that provides sensory input. This helps correct body posture and activates specific muscle groups during movement.

Medical and aquatic treatments

Hope AMC combines physical exercises with medical interventions to manage symptoms like muscle stiffness. These treatments help children participate more comfortably in their daily therapy sessions.

Hydrotherapy. Exercises take place in a heated pool. Water resistance provides a safe way to train mobility with low impact on the joints.
Spasticity management. Doctors use Botox injections, Phenol, or Baclofen pumps to reduce muscle stiffness and improve comfort.
Multidisciplinary program. This combines speech, occupational, and physical therapy with the use of custom assistive devices from the onsite prosthetics clinic.

It focuses on diagnostic clarity and long-term therapy for children and adolescents. The medical team includes 13 specialists – pediatric surgeons, clinical psychologists, and therapists.### Specialized Pediatric Care and RecognitionsHope AMC is recognized as one of the Leading Hospitals in the region.

Specialists manage spine disorders, hip issues, knee pain, and fragile bone conditions. The center also offers non-surgical scoliosis treatment with custom braces to stop curve progression.For children with spinal cord injuries, the clinic uses UGUL Therapy. This method relies on a specialized cage and segmental body suspension. Patients can perform movements that would be impossible under normal gravity. Intensive programs for spinal injuries last three weeks. Each program includes five daily sessions, lasting 2 to 6 hours each.### Pediatric Rehabilitation and Suit TherapyDr. Mai Abdel Mohsen leads the rehabilitation programs. She holds a PhD from Cairo University and is certified in neurodevelopmental therapy and sensory integration. The clinic is known for Dynamic Suit Therapy using the DUNAG-02 system.

### Neurodevelopmental Assessments and TherapyThe clinic provides formal assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD. DHA-licensed clinical psychologists lead these evaluations. Diagnostic tools include ADOS-2 and ADI-R – evidence-based standards for autism detection. Children diagnosed with ASD receive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.ABA plans are tailored to each child's needs, not standardized. Specialists break complex goals – social interaction, daily hygiene – into small steps. This one-on-one approach targets behavior modification and skill building. Families receive a detailed report and a clear support plan to follow at home.### Diagnostic Equipment and TechnologiesThe center uses various tools to monitor progress and plan surgeries. VitalStim technology provides non-invasive neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Throat electrodes strengthen the muscles used for swallowing.Available diagnostic and treatment equipment includes:

MRI and CT scanners for detailed bone and tissue imaging
Decompression systems – AccuSpine and IDD platforms
Nasal and Laryngoscopy tools for airway and swallowing evaluations
C-arm guided imaging for precise nerve block procedures
