WALK AGAIN - Physiotherapy Berlin Mitte

rehabilitation M.People who have lost part of their motor skills after a stroke, a spinal column injury or a traumatic brain injury are still often considered to be "exhausted" after a short period of therapy. In the meantime, however, a number of studies have proven the principle of neuroplasticity: Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to reorganize itself after an injury and thus to compensate for areas that have been destroyed. Abilities that are lost are taken over over time by intact neighboring brain areas or spared nerve fibers in the spinal cord, which leads to an improvement in physical abilities. In order to positively influence the reorganization of the nervous system so that the patient regains as many and above all relevant functions as possible, For neurologically impaired patients this means that intensive, demanding and varied therapy is important so that they can relearn lost skills. In the meantime, this fact has been recognized by many clinics around the world and is also taken into account in daily practice. Conventional physiotherapy is combined with robot-assisted movement therapy to achieve maximum results for the patient. The WALK AGAIN Center in Berlin is the world's first rehabilitation center to offer gait therapy with both the Lokomat® and the HAL® Robot Suit . With specific orthoses, both adults and children can train with the Lokomat in the WALK AGAIN Center. Since the upper extremities are often also affected in the case of neurological impairments, WALK AGAIN decided to also use apparatus-based therapy methods in arm and hand therapy. The center has, among other things, an Armeo® Spring , with which a wide range of severely to slightly affected patients can train the functions of the arm and hand.
