Concepts of treatment

Our special competences

• More independence in everyday life through individual training

  With individual training, we improve, reconstruct, or compensate for impaired or lost skills. The therapy starts with elementary things, such as taking meals independently, personal hygiene, or dressing. It is always about training and adapting everyday activities that are needed in the personal, domestic, and professional environments.

  In order to be able to train sequences of actions, we make use of aids and also mimic a safe transfer as realistically as possible and as close to everyday life as we can; we have a training flat available. It has a training bathroom, an adapted kitchenette, a living room, and a sleeping area.

• Aids counselling and provision

  As part of discharge management, our occupational therapists advise relatives and patients on home aids: from special breakfast trays or adapted cutlery, to electrically height-adjustable bed frames or grab rails, to lifts or ramps.

  In addition, we test and advise patients and relatives on communication aids and adaptations for controlling their environment - e.g. in the case of paraplegia. These are tested individually with the patients.

• Assessment of physical performance

  As part of the medically occupationally-oriented rehabilitation process for patients of working age, the assessment of physical performance is carried out during occupational therapy via interdisciplinary cooperation with physiotherapy. Based on detailed patient interviews, motor requirements at the workplace can be simulated and tested. On the basis of the results, training plans are drawn up for the patient to restore his or her ability to work, if possible.
