Cerebral Aneurysm: Recovery and Rehabilitation.
A life-threatening diagnosis of CEREBRAL ANEURYMS in a person who once used to be healthy and led a healthy lifestyle can be considered as a stroke of misfortune, as an absurd incident. It can often be very difficult to detect cerebral aneurysm when a person has an acute phase of the condition, which can occur as a hemorrhagic stroke. Only modern diagnostic centers are able to correctly diagnose intracranial aneurysm, to provide timely medical care and to offer the patient a chance to return to a normal life.
Using state-of-the-art technologies for diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, Neuroreha.ru life returns back to normal for the majority of people who have suffered intracranial hemorrhages after a ruptured arterial brain aneurysm.
Approximately 75% of people who have suffered a stroke after the ruptured arterial brain aneurysms end up with significant disabilities. The brain is an extremely flexible structure and for several months or years after an ischemic stroke many affected brain cells can recover some of its functions. At the same time, other areas of the brain can take on the functions performed by dead cells.
The recovery of lost brain function after any stroke begin from the first weeks and lasts for about the next 18 months.
It is the early start of a comprehensive rehabilitation program after a stroke and its continuation for unto 18 months thereafter, that prevent severe disability and offers the possibility to return to a normal life.
The rehabilitation after a stroke is the process of achieving the optimal level of social adaptation and achieving a level of independence for the person who has suffered ischemic stroke, with the use of the following means:
- Training new skills
- Retraining skills and abilities
- Adapting to the physical, emotional and social consequences of a stroke.
How can we help?
Rehabilitation is an important part of recovery for many people who have suffered a stroke. Rehabilitation after a stroke will help to return a person to an independent life.
Rehabilitation cannot eliminate the consequences of a stroke. Stroke rehabilitation aims to mobilize both the person’s will power and capabilities, develop confidence and continue normal daily activities, despite the effects of a stroke.
Rehabilitation is aimed at making a stroke patient independent in many areas.
These include:
- Self-help skills, such as feeding, care, bathing and dressing
- Mobility of skills, such as subtle movements, walking or use of self-propelled steering wheelchairs
- Speech skills for communication
- Cognitive skills, such as memory or problem solving
- Social skills necessary for the interaction with other people
Rehabilitation program
Specialists provide a treatment program, which is specifically suitable for each person individually. The rehabilitation program received by a person who has suffered a stroke will depend on each specific case.
The rehabilitation program may include:
- Restoration of feeding
- Kinesiotherapy
- Physiotherapy
- Electroneurostimulation for restoring lost motor functions
- Dynamic propriocorrection involves wearing of reflex loading suits. These promote restoration of motor functions
- Diagnosis and treatment of dizziness
- Balneotherapy involves an effect of mineral waters. It is used to treat, prevent and restore the body
- Stabilometry is a program aimed at restoring the vestibular system
- Training methods for developing a voluntary control of vertical posture, based on biofeedback, in the form of dynamic exercises.
- Stimulating vibroexposure to the support zones of the feet. It is possible both in the normal walking mode and when the patient lacks the ability to move. This method simulates nerve impulses that occur when walking. It is effective for the prevention of thrombosis. The method is used after a stroke and heart attack.
- Speech therapy involves the restoration of lost speech skills
- Studies on bioelectric potentials developing on the human skeletal muscles during the excitation of muscle fibres. It reveals the features of muscle and nerve center functioning involved in the movement, as well as to trace their interaction.
- Treatment and rehabilitation effects on various receptors
- Various types of hydrotherapy (hydromassage, swimming pool)
- Color therapy involves the treatment with visual color images
- Special impact on auditory and visual analyzers, which are used to treat neurological disorders
With the use of the latest advancements available in Germany, our interdisciplinary team of doctors, consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists will achieve the optimal level of recovery after a hemorrhagic stroke due to the ruptured brain aneurysm.
We are going to provide a clinical example of successful recovery and rehabilitation after the ruptured brain aneurysms.
| The patient E., 48 years old, underwent surgery: Craniotomy, Clipping of an aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. It was performed in one of Russian cities. The patient was delivered to our clinic 30 days after the operation. She was conscious and did not have any paresis and paralysis. However, the patient had impaired speech. She was mentally inadequate and had involuntary defecation and urination. The complex of conducted examinations detected hydrocephalus (water on the brain). The surgery to eliminate hydrocephalus and the rehabilitation course that lasted for two months returned our patient to a normal life deprived of any restrictions. Currently, our former patient works as a teacher at the university. |
We are highly experienced in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with arterial brain aneurysms and
WE ARE READY TO HELP YOU!
