After Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery, the real transformation—according to Hope AMC’s pediatric neurorehabilitation pathway—starts with intensive therapy to help children relearn movement patterns and rebuild strength. In this program, Hope AMC describes Dr. Jeffery Leonard, Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, as a key contributor to pediatric neurorehabilitation in the UAE. The clinic frames this collaboration as a milestone for pediatric neurorehabilitation in the country.

Hope AMC’s intensive pediatric physical therapy is presented as blending Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME®), sensory integration, and strength conditioning, with the goal of improving stability and confidence after surgery.
