Neurorehabilitation in Germany – Neurorehabilitation
Rehabilitation in Germany, particularly neurorehabilitation, is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach. It includes complex tasks to restore lost functions of the body and to resolve or at least to decrease the severity of neurological problems and provide complete neurological recovery. The individual approach to each patient plays vital role in choosing therapeutic measures and methods of rehabilitation.
To optimize the entire treatment process, specialists from various spheres of medicine are involved in treatment of complications of brain and spinal cord injuries, traumas, and neurological diseases. Close cooperation with other departments and clinics of related medical fields (neurosurgery, neurology, general surgery, orthopedics, vascular surgery, internal diseases, plastic surgery, urology, radiotherapy, pediatrics, electrophysiology) allows us to provide the most qualified treatment in accordance with the highest standards of modern medicine. The success of German specialists in rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation is universally recognized. Joint cooperation of leading scientific centers and use of the latest scientific developments in the treatment of complications of brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, spinal trauma and neurological diseases, attracts people from around the world. The newest methods of treatment applied here ensuring maximum safety for the patients.
One of the main principles of German neurorehabilitation is early start. Rehabilitation basically begins during the treatment of the patient in the intensive care unit. Such early approach provides the maximum recovery after traumatic brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, spinal injuries and neurological diseases.
When patients from other countries enter Germany's rehabilitation centers, the process of neurorehabilitation begins with a thorough diagnostics of the damage to the systems and organs in the patients who sustained brain traumas or who suffered strokes and spinal cord injuries. The same applies to patients with neurological diseases. During diagnostics our specialists are able to detect true nature of the damage to the central nervous system. They were also able to disclaim fatal diagnoses that indicated the irreversibility of central nervous system damage, such as "vegetative status" or "small-mind syndrome". The purposes of diagnostics during neurorehabilitation is to identify the causes that led to the development of neurological damage and determining the best therapeutic measures that prevent relapse of the disease. For example, stroke can be caused by heart diseases (arrhythmia, non-opening of the oval window), atherosclerotic vascular lesions with embolus formation, anomalies of cerebral vessels (aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, cavernomas), disorders of the blood coagulation system, hematological diseases etc. Elimination of these causes gives the patient a good chance of completing rehabilitation program successfully.
Treatment of complications (hydrocephalus, pressure ulcers, sepsis, spasticity, joint contractures, pneumonia) allows our specialists in some cases to achieve complete recovery during rehabilitation after traumatic brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, spine traumas and neurological diseases.
