The Clinical Department for Rehabilitation Medicine at the MHH offers outpatient follow-up treatment for acute and chronic neurological diseases (e.g. stroke, stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, polyneuropathy, traumatic brain injury) as well as assessment to optimize ongoing therapy.
The aim is to reduce the neurological consequences (e.g. weakness of the foot, hemiparesis, paraparesis, paraplegia, ataxia, etc.), to compensate for the deficits and to improve the patient's mobility, independence and participation in everyday life and work.
Treatment in our Clinical Department is carried out in a multidisciplinary manner by various professional groups such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists and masseurs. Before treatment begins, assessments are carried out to determine the problem, pain, depression/anxiety, independence, quality of life, etc. The patient is then examined by a physician of physical and rehabilitative medicine and the treatment goals are determined in an interdisciplinary manner with the therapists, the patient and his/her family.
The therapy concepts and methods we use include Bobath, Perfetti, perceptual therapy according to Affolter, brain performance training or everyday-oriented therapy (AOT)
If indicated, we also offer functional electrical stimulation for foot drop palsy, muscular stimulation for nerve injuries, gait training with "Andago", treadmill therapy and exercise therapy.
