The program is selected individually. Patients perform physical exercises, do training on special rehabilitation equipment, in the pool. Physiotherapeutic procedures, neurostimulation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation are also used. German clinics use biofeedback and virtual reality technologies, which means that patients train while playing, and this very approach increases their motivation. Whenever required, rehabilitation therapists can also use other methods, such as occupational therapy, antispastic therapy, pelvic floor muscle training, speech therapy, etc.

Neurological rehabilitation in Germany takes place in several phases. The main ones are A, B and C phases. The earliest phase A rehabilitation takes place in the Intensive Care Unit or in the Stroke Unit. Once the patient's consciousness is restored, doctors proceed to phase B rehabilitation. This is a key stage of rehabilitation, the quality of which determines whether the patient is able to regain self-care skills, working capacity, as well as lead an active social and professional life.

Who needs phase B neurorehabilitation?
Neurorehabilitation is indicated for the patients with the following conditions:
- Chronic neurological pathology (multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, any neurodegenerative diseases).
- Acute brain disease (ischemic stroke, hemorrhage, meningitis or encephalitis).
- Traumatic brain injury or spinal injury.
- Previous neurosurgical intervention.
Phase B neurological rehabilitation takes place at the same hospital where the patient was hospitalized for acute pathology or where he received surgical treatment. It is also possible to undergo rehabilitation in a specialized rehabilitation center.
Peculiarities of phase B rehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation in Germany phase B takes place in two stages.
Phase B1 begins after the recovery of consciousness. Rehabilitation is started as early as possible. The doctors try to activate the patient so that he begins to get up in bed, walk in the room or along the corridor, and restore motor functions. The goals of rehabilitation are determined individually, depending on the initial rehabilitation potential and the dynamics of recovery. At first, the patient learns to change the position of the body, sit down, get out of bed, and then walk long distances with crutches, without crutches, climb stairs, etc. In addition, this stage involves the use of rehabilitation methods aimed at stimulating the sensory organs.
Phase B2 depends on the patient's condition. It can begin 2-3 weeks after an injury, disease or surgery, in other cases it can be initiated only after a few months, for example, in the case of a spinal injury. Phase B2 can take place both on an inpatient or outpatient basis. If, in phase B, a person has not learned to walk and take care of himself, he undergoes recovery in the Department of Early Rehabilitation. If the person can walk and is capable of self-care, he is transferred from the general hospital to the rehabilitation center. The duration of this phase is usually 2-4 weeks.
