Stroke / Cerebrovascular Accident Unless expertly treated, a stroke can mean permanent disability and incapacitation for many patients and in most cases can put an abrupt end to a previously independent lifestyle. Primary goal of the rehabilitative recovery after stroke is to avoid this and return you, as much as possible, to full control of your own active life.
Our experienced neurological rehabilitation centers offer intensive post-stroke recovery programs encompassing special physiotherapy, speech therapy, ergotherapy and much more to give you back your independence !
Myasthenia and neuromuscular disorders The common leading symptom of this disease group is muscle weakness. Some of those illnesses are caused by auto-immunological processes and usually take a progressive course.
Our partner clinics have devised treatment and rehabilitation plans tailored to the specific needs and requirements of all degrees of neuromuscular disorders. Intensive therapeutic measures, such as medication, exercise and physical training aim to stabilize and, where possible, improve your health status.
Multiple Sclerosis / Parkinson’s syndrome /Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) These chronic and usually progressive illnesses affect typically the motor abilities of patients. Most neurodegenerative diseases are still not curable yet, but state-of-the art medical treatments can help delay the progress of the diseases and thus continue to live further an active and independent life.
Together with its Neurology experts, Intermed-Consult grants access to the most innovative therapy concepts for patients affected by chronic neurological disorders, including the latest drug developments (disease modifying drugs).
Neurological pain syndromes / Disorders of the neural pathways These conditions comprise several disorders, such as neuralgia (pain syndrome) or polyneuropathies (systemic affection of peripheral nerves), caused by infections, diabetes, alcohol or other toxic substances. As this group is represented by various different impairments, it usually requires an interdisciplinary team of specialists.
We can rely on partners, having particular expertise in rehabilitation care of all these illness types, including rare illnesses.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) / Craniocerebral injuries Injuries to the central nervous system – brain and spinal cord – can lead to a variety of complex symptoms, such as impairments of motor, sensible or cognitive functions. Depending on the pattern of dysfunctions, an individual therapy plan will be worked out for our patients. SCI, which is a frequent consequence of traumatic injuries, such as road or sports accidents, is often followed by complete or incomplete spinal paralysis (paraplegia or tetraplegia).
Together with our exclusive partners, we are offering our patients suffering from SCI a comprehensive outpatient therapy regime covering ambulatory physiotherapy and provision with most modern medical device technique, such as revolutionary walking aids, enabling paralyzed patients to stand and walk again.
Neuropediatric rehabilitation / Seizure disorders Children with neurological disorders need to be treated in specialized rehabilitation clinics adapted to the specific requirements of child patients. Frequent conditions to be treated are impairments or disabilities following accidents, infantile cerebral paresis or epilepsy.
As there are only a handful such highly-specialized centers, we work closely together with partner clinics offering the entire range of qualified neuropediatric rehab care.
