Neuropaediatrics. Neurological rehabilitation. Epilepsy (children and adolescents). Our Treatment Concepts

Early rehabilitation of children and adolescents

Our young patients receive comprehensive care during their early rehabilitation.

Our young patients receive comprehensive care during their early rehabilitation.

In addition to standard equipment, we also have intensive monitoring facilities and respiration units for treating children and adolescents. Apart from direct availability of diagnostic options such as CT, MRT, bronchoscopy, endoscopic swallowing diagnostics, EEG, and sonography, among other things, we place particular value in close involvement of the parents in the therapy concepts and psychological-spiritual accompaniment.

Further paediatric neurological rehabilitation (ward C)

In this area we treat children and adolescents with congenital or acquired damage to the nerve system who do not or no longer need intensive medical care.

In the case of babies and small children, we offer the option of admitting parents or other relatives with the child.

Rehabilitation measures are performed, among other things:

  • following traffic accidents
  • following operations on the brain
  • following the consequences of oxygen deficiency conditions of the brain
  • following strokes
  • in case of congenital or acquired paraplegia
  • for all forms of cerebral pareses
  • for the resulting conditions following infections of the nerve system
  • on children and adolescents with epilepsies
  • following neuro-orthopaedic operations
  • following severe burns

Therapy specialisations

The specialisations include the treatment of spasticity and dystonia including therapy with botulinum toxin and Baclofen pumps, adjuvant supply, the therapy of concentration and memory disorders, of infantile aphasia and swallowing disorders and physical therapies following (neuro-) orthopaedic measures. One of the main tasks is the efforts to achieve adequate reintegration into the family and society according to ICF criteria. ICF criteria are a classification produced and issued by the WHO (= World Health Organisation), for describing the functional health conditions, the disability, social impairment and relevant environmental factors of humans. The aim of these criteria is to enable people with disabilities to take part in social life again - in other words, that participation must be an essential rehabilitation objective.
