St. Mauritius Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, Meerbusch
St. Mauritius Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic, Meerbusch |«St. Mauritius», near Düsseldorf, part of the Association of Catholic Clinics of Düsseldorf (VKKD), is today the most advanced neurological rehabilitation centre in Germany. The centre has an ultra-modern diagnostic department, including MRI equipment, and a therapy department fitted with robotic surgery technology.
St. Mauritius Clinic employs more than 250 staff, including over 20 neurologists, paediatric neurologists and geriatricians, and more than 90 therapists, psychologists, physiotherapists and sports therapists. The centre's inpatient facility can accommodate around 200 patients at a time.
The decisive prerequisites for successful treatment in a rehabilitation clinic are not only specialist expertise and new 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 drafted, the plan is discussed with the patient and their family and then implemented as a structured process. This sophisticated, modular system, which incorporates the latest findings in rehabilitation medicine, explains the enormous demand for treatment at the St. Mauritius Therapy Clinic.
Such conditions include stroke, cerebral haemorrhage, head injuries, nerve atrophy, Parkinson's disease, as well as inflammatory diseases of the brain and nerves.
Patients are usually admitted to the clinic for follow-up treatment after receiving emergency medical care at other medical institutions, with the following disorders:
- motor, sensory, tonic and psychological impairments;
- functional impairments that may result from neurological damage, for example disturbances of gait or of self-care;
- consequences affecting everyday and social activity.
Rehabilitation at the St. Mauritius Therapy Clinic is aimed at restoring patients' health-related quality of life. It is precisely this measure that is used to assess the effectiveness of patient rehabilitation. Complete resolution of the neurological damage is of course the optimal outcome, but unfortunately this is not seen very often in neurological practice. While rehabilitation of patients whose pathological process has already ended (stroke, trauma, infection) proves reasonably effective in most cases, in progressive diseases of the central nervous system its effectiveness depends not only on the nature and intensity of the rehabilitation measures, but to a considerable extent on the degree and rate of disease progression and on the options available for disease-modifying drug therapy.
The main restorative measures must therefore be directed at recovering impaired functions and adapting the patient to life under new circumstances. For neurological patients, relearning to walk and to manage everyday self-care is particularly important.
The doctors at the rehabilitation centre continue the treatment started in hospital, modifying and supplementing it according to the patient's condition. Alongside the medical procedures, the centre runs intensive sessions with patients designed to restore lost brain and nerve functions and to prevent the weakening of neural connections.
The recovery and training of brain functions proceed in stages. In the early rehabilitation units, with intensive medical treatment and nursing care, the emphasis is on improving the patient's level of consciousness, developing the ability to communicate and interact, breathing and swallowing training, the ability to hold the body upright, and the initial phase of restoring mobility. In the advanced rehabilitation units, patients train self-care skills and independence in everyday life, and work on developing sensorimotor and coordination functions, speech, movement, orientation, motivation, as well as memory and attention. The goal of a stay at the centre is to restore independence and the ability to take part in social life as fully as possible.
It is also important for the clinic's doctors to identify and eliminate the causes of patients' conditions, in order to prevent a recurrence of the acute phase and of accompanying complications. The centre's therapists help patients develop healthy lifestyle habits and give practical advice. The human brain controls motor function, speech, attention and memory. In medicine these areas are considered separately, and this is why the clinic's team is interdisciplinary. In addition to neurologists, the St. Mauritius Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic in Meerbusch offers the services of experienced physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, psychologists, music therapists and sports therapy specialists.
Patients at the clinic are supported by social workers and chaplains. After discharge from the centre, the patient continues the prescribed therapy on an outpatient basis at home or at a private practice recommended by the centre. The clinic uses the best recognised and the very latest therapeutic methods. The therapy clinic's research projects make a significant contribution to the development of diagnostics and therapy in neurology, both within the centre itself and at other medical institutions.
