About the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation at MEDIAN Rehabilitation Clinic Flechtingen

The Department of Neurological Rehabilitation at the MEDIAN Rehabilitation Clinic Flechtingen provides the full range of modern rehabilitation measures for patients with diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The department most often admits patients after such neurological disorders as stroke, traumatic brain injury, meningitis, encephalitis, polyneuropathy and others. The doctors of the medical facility are distinguished by their special competence in the field of rehabilitation treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis. The main types of therapy successfully used in the department include therapeutic exercises, sports therapy, physiotherapy, therapy to restore balance and coordination, ergotherapy, hippotherapy, training on special robotic equipment to restore walking skills, fine and gross motor skills, mirror therapy, speech therapy, art therapy, music therapy and many other effective rehabilitation treatment methods. The set of rehabilitation measures and their intensity are determined for each patient individually. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Michael Sailer.

Acute diseases and injuries of the brain and spinal cord, as well as chronic neurological disorders are often associated with serious restrictions, which prevent a person from returning to his everyday life. Therefore, the main task of the department's rehabilitation therapists is to choose the optimal set of therapeutic procedures, which will help get rid of these restrictions, prevent the progression of the disease and achieve maximum independence of the patient in everyday life. Prior to the appointment of a particular rehabilitation program for the patient, the specialists determine specific goals of the rehabilitation, which must be achieved during the therapy. The department's doctors always strive to provide patients with a high-quality and long-term result of rehabilitation treatment.

It should be noted that one of the priority focuses of the department's work is early rehabilitation, which is carried out within the specialized unit. The patients with such acute and severe injuries of the central and peripheral nervous system as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and apallic syndrome, are admitted here after their therapy in the Intensive Care Unit. The technical equipment meets all the standards of the Intensive Care Unit. The department also employs a large number of qualified specialists, who provide patients with the necessary professional care.

Many diseases of the brain lead to problems with swallowing and speech. In this regard, the team of the department has the required qualifications, as well as special diagnostic and therapeutic options for the treatment of such disorders. In addition, the department holds personal consultations with the patients and their relatives at any time.

The department also has a specialized Section for Multiple Sclerosis, which provides them with optimal living conditions and treatment. Thanks to close cooperation with organizations for the protection of the rights of such patients, in particular, with the German Multiple Sclerosis Association and other clinics specializing in the treatment of this disease, the department offers its patients the individualized and comprehensive rehabilitation treatment of the highest level.
