Boao Sino-French Rehabilitation Medicine Center: Building a World-Class Hub for Rehabilitation Medicine

I. Hospital Overview

The Boao Sino-French Rehabilitation Medicine Center is located within the Boao Lvcheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (hereinafter referred to as the “Lvcheng Pilot Zone”) in Hainan, China's only “medical special zone” approved by the State Council. It enjoys policy advantage, including special medical permits, research exemptions, operational franchises, and international medical exchange privileges. Jointly established by renowned Chinese rehabilitation institutions and France's leading rehabilitation medical team, the Center represents a key international rehabilitation cooperation project introduced to the Pilot Zone. It aims to integrate the essence of Chinese and French rehabilitation medicine to create a modern rehabilitation medical center characterized by “technological leadership, international service, and distinctive features.”

Spanning approximately 20,000 square meters, the Boao Sino-French Rehabilitation Medicine Center features 120 beds and is equipped with internationally standardized rehabilitation treatment zones, a high-end rehabilitation assessment center, and smart wards. It focuses on four core areas: neurological rehabilitation, sports injury rehabilitation, geriatric rehabilitation, and pediatric rehabilitation. The center is dedicated to providing domestic and international patients with full-cycle services encompassing “prevention-treatment-rehabilitation-health management.” It also undertakes functions including rehabilitation technology R&D, international academic exchange, and rehabilitation professional training, serving as a key medical landmark in Hainan's “Health Island” initiative.

II. Technical Advantages: Sino-French Integration, Leading Rehabilitation Frontiers

Leveraging rehabilitation resources from both China and France, the Boao Sino-French Rehabilitation Medicine Center has developed core competitiveness through “technological complementarity and innovation-driven development”:

• Empowered by French Rehabilitation Philosophy: Adopting France's “functional restoration + quality of life enhancement” rehabilitation model, emphasizing “early intervention, precise assessment, and personalized plans.” It meets Europe's cutting-edge standards, particularly in post-neurological injury functional recovery and chronic pain management.

• Deep Integration of Chinese Techniques: Combining traditional Chinese rehabilitation (acupuncture, massage, herbal fumigation) with modern technologies (robot-assisted training, virtual reality rehabilitation) to create a distinctive “Chinese-Western medicine synergy,” demonstrating remarkable efficacy in chronic disease rehabilitation and postoperative functional restoration.

• Cutting-edge Smart Rehabilitation Technologies: Equipped with globally leading rehabilitation robots, virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation systems, and big data assessment platforms, enabling precise quantification and dynamic adjustment of the rehabilitation process, reducing recovery time by 30%-50%.

• Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Model: An interdisciplinary team comprising rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), speech therapists (ST), psychologists, and TCM practitioners delivers comprehensive solutions for complex cases (e.g., stroke with diabetes, spinal cord injury with psychological disorders).

III. Specialized Strengths: Precise Coverage of Rehabilitation Needs Across All Populations

The Boao Sino-French Rehabilitation Medicine Center focuses on four core specialties, covering rehabilitation needs throughout the entire life cycle from childhood to old age:

1. Neurological Rehabilitation: For neurological conditions including stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's disease, we implement a full-cycle intervention: “early bedside rehabilitation → functional restoration during recovery → compensatory training during sequelae phase.” Incorporating France's “task-oriented training” methodology, patient walking function recovery rates exceed traditional approaches by 40%.

2. Sports Injury Rehabilitation: Serving professional athletes and sports enthusiasts, specializing in post-surgical rehabilitation for ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, Achilles tendon ruptures, etc. Combining French “performance re-education” principles with traditional Chinese massage, it helps patients rapidly return to athletic competition with over 95% rehabilitation satisfaction.

3. Geriatric Rehabilitation Department: Provides integrated “rehabilitation + nursing + chronic disease management” services for age-related conditions like Alzheimer's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and osteoarthritis. Combines French “cognitive stimulation therapy” with traditional Chinese medicine's “preventive healthcare” techniques to slow functional decline and enhance elderly quality of life.

4. Pediatric Rehabilitation Department: Specializes in treating autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy, and developmental delays. Combines France's “Structured Teaching (TEACCH)” with China's “Guided Education” model, integrated with physical therapy, speech therapy, and sensory integration training to enhance children's functional abilities.
