SUPPORT FOR THE LVIV HOSPITAL SO REHABILITATION CAN BE EFFECTIVE AND SAFE
The “Rehabilitation: New Life” project, supported by GlobalGiving, continues to strengthen medical teams across Ukraine. This time, modern equipment was delivered to the Lviv Regional Hospital for War Veterans and Repressed named after Yuriy Lypa — one of the region’s leading healthcare institutions.
To support the rehabilitation department, we provided:
• Line Cable Cross Over, DKN Technology — a training machine that allows a wide range of strength and coordination exercises, helps build muscle power, improve balance, and increase joint mobility;
• KINETEC KINEVIA DUO, Kinetec — a device for active and passive therapy of upper and lower limbs, designed to restore joint movement and improve motor control.
Total value of assistance — 675,675 UAH
A hospital where patients recover comprehensively
The Yuriy Lypa Hospital is a multidisciplinary medical facility offering care across more than thirty areas. It hosts a modern rehabilitation center that combines physical and psychological rehabilitation, with dedicated kinesio- and ergotherapy spaces.
The team works with patients after stroke, traumatic brain injuries, peripheral nervous system damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations, polytrauma, and musculoskeletal conditions.
Here, recovery means not only restoring movement. Specialists also help patients regain everyday functions — self-care, daily household tasks, memory, concentration, fine motor skills, and attention. Each person is supported by a multidisciplinary team including a psychologist, speech and language therapist, social worker, and rehab coaches.
This approach makes rehabilitation not fragmented, but continuous and attentive to every stage of progress.
Results that both doctors and patients can see
According to Oksana Sydlyar, a doctor of physical and rehabilitation medicine, the new equipment has significantly improved the effectiveness of therapy — motor skills, muscle strength, concentration, and joint mobility have increased. Patients notice positive changes faster, which greatly boosts their motivation to continue.
One example is a 45-year-old patient after lower limb amputation, preparing for prosthetic fitting. Training with the new equipment helped him increase strength and endurance, reduce phantom pain, and stabilize his emotional state. This is a clear example of how technology becomes a real tool on the path back to activity.
Partnership that leads to real change
This is not the first time the hospital has received our support — previously, we delivered equipment and organized training for specialists. Today, this assistance is becoming part of visible improvements inside the rehabilitation system. And the best proof of real impact is people who are recovering faster, more confidently, and with hope.
“Participation in the ‘Rehabilitation: New Life’ project has significantly helped our department. The new equipment has simplified our work and allowed us to restore patients more quickly and efficiently. We can activate patients earlier, and they see progress faster — which motivates them even more. We are grateful for this support and glad to work more effectively.” — hospital team
Because of the war, the need for quality rehabilitation in Ukraine has multiplied. Thousands of people begin their recovery every day, and beside them stand medical teams doing everything they can to achieve the best results. Our mission is to ensure they have the tools to make rehabilitation effective, safe, and accessible.
The Rehabilitation: New Life project is implemented with the support of GlobalGiving. We sincerely thank our partners for the opportunity to bring meaningful change to rehabilitation in Ukraine.
