Unfortunately, even the youngest children experience accidents and traumas, after which rehabilitation is necessary.
The most important target group for children’s rehabilitation is children with cerebral palsy (CP), but also children with spina bifida, hydrocephalus, spinal muscular dystrophy, various genetic diseases, and other conditions caused by diseases affecting the central nervous system.
Similar to adults, central nervous system damage affects a child’s coping abilities and leads to a greater need for external assistance than usual. Children with cerebral palsy and other mentioned conditions want to play, learn, and spend time with friends and family. Through meaningful cooperation between the rehabilitation team, the child, and their family, many solutions are possible.
HNRK offers rehabilitation for children from early infancy until adulthood, and beyond if necessary. Our knowledge and equipment are modern, and our approach is aimed at supporting the child’s and family’s coping abilities.
Rehabilitation for Adults with Musculoskeletal Problems
The range of musculoskeletal problems in adults is very wide.
Concerns include lower back pain, post-fracture conditions, post-joint replacement conditions, problems arising from joint diseases, scoliosis and other spinal curvatures, vertebral deformities, etc.
Since the nervous system of the human body is not damaged in these cases, the principles of the approach differ somewhat from neurological rehabilitation.
The central focus of the recovery process is to support the most effective recovery of the muscular system and related structures, thereby helping individuals return to daily life. Teaching correct behavioral and movement patterns, counseling on avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms, pain reduction, etc., are important parts of working with this target group.
