Our medical team is available to advise all MHH specialties as required. To this end, physicians or other medical specialists on the various wards can request a PRM medical consultation. This can relate to diagnostics as well as treatment options or socio-medical care. Our physicians examine the patient on the relevant ward depending on the issue in question and discuss the findings and options (e.g. indications for rehabilitation) with the requesting colleague.

In collaboration with the ear, nose and throat physicians at the MHH, such consultations are used, for example, to clarify muscular causes of dizziness and ringing in the ears.

We provide physiotherapy services to all Clinical Departments of the MHH. Our physiotherapists use a wide range of passive, assistive and active therapy measures:

• Passive measures
• Active movement therapy
• Physiotherapy on a neurophysiological basis
• Swallowing and breathing therapy
• Relaxation techniques

Various physiotherapeutic concepts form the basis of treatment here:

• Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
• Developmental neurological treatment according to Bobath or Vojta
• Manual therapy according to Kaltenborn-Evjent or Maitland and Cyriax
• Sensory integration concepts
• Brügger concept
• Functional movement theory according to Klein-Vogelbach
• Concepts for incontinence treatment
• Relaxation therapy according to Jacobson
• Sensorimotor facilitation according to Janda
• Fascial distortion model according to Typaldos

The measures are individually tailored to the needs of the patient. Our physiotherapists work in close coordination with the medical and nursing teams on the respective wards.

We treat patients in almost all Departments of the MHH with the associated Clinical Departments. These include patients with

• Diseases of the musculoskeletal system
• Tumor diseases
• Organ transplants
• Diseases of the internal organs
• Diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system as well as after neurosurgical interventions, developmental disorders of various origins (in children)

Our aim is to promote or restore existing and lost physical, mental and cognitive abilities. Occupational therapy intervention is provided for children and adults as part of individual treatment, often at a very early stage of the illness. Depending on the severity of the impairment, treatment takes place on the respective wards in the patient's room or in our therapy rooms.
The focus of every occupational therapy treatment is always an action-oriented approach, which aims to achieve the greatest possible independence and thus independence in everyday life, self-care, leisure, work and school.
At the beginning of an occupational therapy intervention, a precise assessment is carried out to analyze the individual situation in conjunction with the contextual factors. The objectives are developed in dialog with the patient and the interdisciplinary team and determine the individual focus of the therapy.

The following treatment contents are taken into account in inpatient treatment:

• ADL training (activities of daily life)
• Development of communication strategies (e.g. for tracheotomized patients)
• Promotion of body awareness
• Promotion of temporal and local orientation
• Promoting the ability to act
• Joint protection advice and joint protection training
• Advice on aids
• Prosthesis training
• Individual occupational therapy splint fitting for the hand (e.g. positioning splints, rheumatism splints, functional splints, etc.)
• Environmental counseling
• Stimulation of targeted activity for the child
• Sensitivity training / desensitization for hypersensitivity
• Training of fine motor skills
  

The following treatment methods and concepts are used:

• Bobath
• Perfetti
• Affolter
• Basal stimulation
• HoDT (action-oriented diagnostics and therapy)
• AOT (everyday-oriented therapy)
• SI (Sensory Integration Therapy)
• Brain performance training
• Animal-assisted therapy (therapy assistance dog)
• Individual occupational therapy splints for the hand (e.g. positioning splints, rheumatism splints,
• functional splints, etc.)
• Mirror therapy / GMI (Graded Motor Imagery)
• Complex treatments: Mobile early rehabilitation, Parkinson's complex, palliative complex

We treat patients on all MHH wards with physical therapy services. Physical therapy works by means of protection, activation or attenuation, functional adaptation, as well as sensorimotor learning, training and behavioral adaptation. Physical therapy makes use of serial applications of mechanical, thermal, electrical, actinic and/or physicochemical stimuli that are appropriate to the condition and planned.
The focus of inpatient treatment is on

• CO2 baths for burns and wound care
• Kerosene baths for scleroderma patients
• Heat packs
• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Electrotherapy and ultrasound therapy

As part of inpatient care, it is possible to provide intensive and highly specialized treatment for particular clinical pictures. For this purpose, so-called complex treatment can be requested by the attending ward physicians. This applies, for example, to illnesses such as Parkinson's disease. An individual therapy concept is drawn up for the patient in order to treat the functional limitations as efficiently as possible and, if possible, to eliminate them.
