These can be movement disorders, loss of coordination, speech and mental disorders, deterioration of appearance, and many other residual effects. Rehabilitative measures are used to eliminate, reduce, or compensate them.

Types of rehabilitation

Medical rehabilitation has numerous focuses. According to the origin and location of the pathological processes that have caused the health problems, rehabilitation can be classified into:

• Neurological 
• Orthopaedic  
• Cardiac 
• Psychosomatic 
• Pulmonary 
• Oncological 
• General

There are also many other types of rehabilitation. They are all apt for certain situations.

Goals of rehabilitation

Medical rehabilitation is a complex mix of therapeutic and diagnostic, pedagogical, cosmetic, and other measures aimed at accelerating a person’s recovery after diseases or medical procedures.

Rehabilitation mainly aspires to:

• accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues;
• totally or partially restore lost functions and a patient’s ability to work;
• restore a patient’s appearance;
• adapt to new living conditions in case of irreversible functional disorders; 
• allow patients to acquire skills and psychological qualities that enable their return to sports, their social life, retain or acquire the ability to care for themselves.

Rehabilitation can have a range of objectives. These depend on many factors, such as a patient’s age and health, his/her lifestyle, reversibility of impaired functions, and structural damage to tissues.

However, in any case, all the actions aim to restore a person to their former standard of living: physical, social, economic, psychological, sports, working, etc.

 

Rehabilitation in Europe

A special feature of European medicine is that their doctors not only try to save patients’ lives, but also ensure a high quality system of care. Therefore, developed countries, such as Germany, offer a variety of rehabilitation medical institutions, where patients can recover after the treatment of a serious disease. 

The advantages of rehabilitative measures in German hospitals: 

• Well-established rehabilitation regimens. Germany uses many developed rehabilitation programmes, which took years to establish. These allow a person to restore most of their lost functions and return to a near normal work capacity. 
• Technical capacity of medical centers. Rehabilitation includes many different procedures. Some of them require high-tech equipment. This is available in German hospitals.
• Physical and psychological comfort. German hospitals provide comfortable patient recovery rooms, a high level of household comfort, and hospitable doctors and nurses. 
• High quality patient care. Many patients have a limited ability to work after surgery, due to the effects of a disease. German hospitals provide high quality patient care, which facilitates an accelerated physical and psychological rehabilitation. 
• Consultations after rehabilitation. Rehabilitative measures usually take a long time. Even after discharge from the hospital, where a person spends 2-4 weeks, the patient should receive procedures and follow their doctor's recommendations. German medical specialists monitor their patients for 3-6 months after their discharge. Moreover, this support is provided without additional financial costs. 

With these advantages, rehabilitation in Germany is as effective as it is generally possible in a specific clinical situation. The experienced German doctors have already helped thousands of patients to return to their normal lifestyle after defeating a disease. This is yet another reason that makes Germany an attractive option for patients who want a truly restorative rehabilitation experience.
