A Stronger Comeback: Electric Shock Rehabilitation Success at Veritas Hospitals

When Life Changes in a Flash

At just 24, Laxmi Narayana was working hard, building his future. Then, in a single, terrifying moment, a powerful electric shock injury changed everything. Electric shock injuries are not just surface-level burns, they can cause deep, invisible damage to muscles, nerves, and organs, including the brain. They require more than emergency care—they demand expert, dedicated rehabilitation.

After receiving excellent initial care at Yashoda Hospitals, Laxmi Narayana was referred to Veritas Rehab and Hospitals. This is where his real journey back to a normal life began.

The Complex Challenge of Electric Shock Rehabilitation

Electric shock patients present a unique and complex challenge. The high-voltage current travels through the body, often causing:

  • Neurological Damage: Affecting movement, sensation, and coordination (called Neuro-Motor Impairment).
  • Musculoskeletal Weakness: Severe muscle damage and loss of strength.
  • Emotional Trauma: Anxiety, depression, and loss of confidence due to the incident and the sudden loss of function.

At Veritas, we understood that a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn’t work. Laxmi Narayana needed a highly personalized and intense rehab program focused on rebuilding the connections between his brain and his body.

The Veritas Difference: A Step-by-Step Recovery Plan

 

Laxmi Narayana recovery was guided by our multidisciplinary rehabilitation team—a core principle of our approach.

1. Specialized Physical Therapy for Neuro-Motor Recovery

The first priority was to address the deep weakness and coordination issues. Our expert Physiotherapy team designed a structured program, focusing on:

  • Gait Training: Re-learning how to walk with balance and confidence.
  • Strength & Endurance: Targeted exercises to rebuild lost muscle mass and combat fatigue.
  • Functional Movement: Rehearsing everyday activities like standing up, sitting down, and reaching.

2. Comprehensive Neuro-Motor Support

Since electric shock can affect nerve function, the rehab focused on stimulating these pathways. This is the Neuro Rehabilitation component where we apply specialized techniques and equipment (like Functional Electrical Stimulation or FES, where needed) to help the body “remember” how to move correctly.

3. The Crucial Role of Emotional Care

A major injury is emotionally draining. Laxmi Narayana journey included regular support from our Occupational & Behavioural Therapy specialists. We didn’t just treat the body, we helped restore his confidence and willpower, ensuring he stayed motivated through challenging therapy sessions. This holistic approach is essential for a strong, lasting recovery.

At Veritas Rehab Hospital, we don’t just treat injuries, we redefine recovery. Our goal is to see our patients not just walk out, but step into a stronger, more independent future.

The Stronger Comeback: Achieving Full Discharge

Through consistent effort from Laxmi Narayana and unwavering support from his therapists, the progress was remarkable.

The dedicated, structured rehabilitation allowed Laxmi Narayana to successfully:

  • Regain his mobility and strength.
  • Achieve functional independence.
  • Overcome the emotional barriers of the injury.

Laxmi Narayana day of discharge was a happy moment for our entire hospital. He walked out with a strong stride, ready to return to his life and work proof that with expert early intervention and specialized Post-Injury Rehabilitation, a full recovery is possible, even after the most severe trauma.
