NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION IN GERMANY
The aim of neurological rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after a stroke, is to give patients their quality of life back. Inpatient rehabilitation ensures continuity of treatment and helps prevent relapses.
The decisive prerequisites for successful treatment in a rehabilitation clinic are not only specialist expertise and the latest technology, but above all a carefully considered, flexible and continuously refined concept of therapy tailored to each individual patient. Individual therapy plans are drawn up on the basis of the patient's medical history, their current condition, any deficits and limitations of the musculoskeletal system or of speech, and their psychological profile. Once drawn up, the plan is discussed with the patient and their family and is then carried out as a structured process. This sophisticated, adaptable system, which incorporates the latest findings in rehabilitation medicine, explains the enormous demand for treatment in German neurological clinics
Such conditions include stroke, cerebral haemorrhage, head injuries, nerve atrophy, Parkinson's disease, and inflammatory diseases of the brain and nerves.
Patients are usually admitted to neurological rehabilitation clinics for further treatment after receiving emergency medical care at other medical facilities, presenting with:
- motor, sensory, tonic and psychological disorders;
- functional impairments that may result from neurological damage, for example difficulty with walking or self-care;
- consequences affecting everyday and social activity.
Rehabilitation programmes in neurological rehabilitation clinics are aimed at restoring the patient's health-related quality of life.
