NYU Langone’s Rusk Rehabilitation was founded to fulfill a basic principle: Physical medicine and rehabilitation shouldn’t focus solely on illness or disability—it should involve the whole person, emotionally, psychologically, and socially. Today’s Rusk Rehabilitation is an evolution of an idea first put into action by Dr. Howard A. Rusk. A man widely considered to be the father of rehabilitation medicine and our program’s namesake.
Dr. Rusk’s philosophy was inspired by the challenges he saw in injured veterans returning from World War II. He became passionate about giving people the tools they needed to live life to its fullest.
Since its founding in 1948, Rusk Rehabilitation has built upon that fundamental idea by providing people with the recovery resources they need to lead full and rewarding lives. Providing both inpatient and outpatient service.
Our patients have a wide variety of diagnoses and treatment needs. We address injuries that include brain injury, cardiac and pulmonary conditions, chronic neurological conditions, limb loss, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions, pediatric conditions and injuries, spinal cord injury, and stroke.
