Following a neurological event such as a Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) , but also in cases of diseases like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis (MS), mobility can be severely restricted. To improve or regain lost abilities, intensive Movement Therapy is required, ideally planned and conducted by therapists with sound neurological expertise.
The impairments of our patients vary greatly. Therefore, therapy requires an individualized approach tailored to the specific needs of each person. At our Clinic , we focus on Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy within Movement Therapy , complemented by other therapeutic approaches Co-therapies from different therapeutic disciplines (e.g., Speech Therapy or Neuropsychology ) as well as other medical services.
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring and improving physical functions and mobility, supported by various therapeutic robots. It includes, among other things, the following areas:
Joint mobilization and stabilization: A key component of Physiotherapy is the mobilization and stabilization of the joints. Targeted exercises are particularly important for patients with spasticity or stiffness. These therapies help to mobilize the joints and improve stability.
Muscle strengthening: Specifically tailored exercises serve to rebuild weakened muscles and improve endurance. The use of robotic systems such as Omego, Dynasystem, and SensoPro supports this process through targeted and controlled muscle exercises.
Balance and Gait Training : Physiotherapists use both traditional methods and innovative therapy robots such as SensoPro, BalanceTutor, and CMill to develop effective training programs. These devices help improve balance, stabilize gait, and restore a sense of security to patients.
Occupational Therapy focuses on people's ability to act and contributes to improving their health and Quality Of Life . It aims to enable people to participate in everyday life and society. This includes, among other things:
Support in relearning everyday activities: Support in the areas of self-care (e.g., physical nursing , Mobility ), productivity (e.g., work, household chores), and leisure (e.g., hobbies, social life).
Training in everyday skills: Instructions for improving physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills.
Clarification and assessment of the ability to act: Analysis and evaluation of the ability to act in the aforementioned areas.
Selection and adaptation of assistive devices: Development and adaptation of splints, assistive devices and everyday objects for home or workplace to increase independence and autonomy.
Advice: Support for clients, relatives and employers with regard to maintaining or improving their ability to act, as well as health promotion and prevention.
Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy are both essential components of Movement Therapy at cereneo . However, they have different focuses. Physiotherapy concentrates on restoring and improving physical functions and movement abilities, including measures such as joint mobilization, muscle strengthening, and gait and Balance Training .
Occupational Therapy on the other hand, focuses on restoring the ability to function in daily life and improving Quality Of Life . It supports patients in independently performing everyday activities such as personal nursing and household tasks, and in navigating social and professional environments. This includes practical exercises, the adaptation of assistive devices, and counseling for better integration into daily life.
Effective and efficient Movement Therapy requires a comprehensive repertoire of therapeutic methods and a clear, innovative, and interdisciplinary approach. Therapies should be as flexible and individualized as our patients to meet their changing needs during Rehabilitation .
