Kyiv Institute of Rehabilitation

What Kyiv Institute of Rehabilitation does

Kyiv Institute of Rehabilitation (Київський інститут реабілітації) is a medical rehabilitation center headquartered at Prospekt Beresteyskyi, 131 A in Kyiv, Ukraine, with a secondary training venue in Odesa. It delivers multidisciplinary rehabilitation services combining neuro-rehabilitation, sports rehabilitation, orthopedics, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy. Following the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, the institute re-profiled from civilian rehabilitation to military casualty rehabilitation, and today treats primarily mine-explosive injuries, gunshot wounds, shrapnel trauma, limb amputations, traumatic brain injuries, and post-stroke cases, alongside civilian war casualties without other funding sources. The institute self-describes as the only rehabilitation institute in Ukraine and employs a team of 35 highly qualified specialists under co-founders Roman Dvukhryadkin and Andrii Palamarchuk (the latter a Candidate of Medical Sciences in Neurology).

The institute's clinical technology is built around certified, clinically proven physiotherapy equipment sourced from leading US and European manufacturers via an exclusive partnership with RMED (ТОВ «РМЕД»). Treatment modalities include volume pneumatic compression (pressotherapy), laser therapy, ultrasound, shockwave therapy, mechanotherapy, magnetotherapy, and TENS for pain management and tissue healing. The institute has adapted Western rehabilitation protocols benchmarked against Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (Germany) for Ukrainian wartime injuries, particularly polytrauma and amputations from mine-explosive and gunshot trauma. A specialized prosthetic rehabilitation training course (40 hours of instruction with 25 CME qualification points) has been delivered to more than 400 medical professionals to date.

The institute operates on a grant-funded, free-to-patient model. Primary sponsorship comes from The United Ukraine Appeal (Australia), joined in October 2023 by the AFUO Future Ukraine Fund. Formal cooperation agreements extend to Ukrainian government medical institutions (MIA Khmelnytskyi Territorial Medical Association, National Scientific Center of Radiation Medicine), military patronage services (Azov), and academic institutions (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv Medical University, Vernadsky Taurida National University). Revenue from CME-accredited training and educational courses supplements the grant base. The institute has cumulatively served over 7,000 patients, rehabilitated more than 300 patients within ten months of its United Ukraine Appeal partnership, and treated over 100 servicemen who returned to military or civilian life. International media coverage (CNN, Deutsche Welle, France Info, AP) and an active social media presence (Instagram, Facebook, Telegram) drive awareness and donor engagement.
