Zusammenfassung

Die Aktivitäten des täglichen Lebens erfordern neben ausreichender Muskelaktivität neuromuskuläre Koordination, Beweglichkeit, Gleichgewicht, Ausdauer und Fitness. Auch für Patienten mit einem Upper-Motor-Neuron-Syndrom sind intensives aufgabenorientiertes Training, funktionelle Kraftübungen sowie Übungen zur Verbesserung der Beweglichkeit notwendig, um limitierende Beeinträchtigungen in ihrem Alltag zu überwinden. Lesen Sie hier, wie das Neurorehateam diesen Prozess positiv mitgestalten kann.
