Stroke Rehabilitation Treatment in Altoa | Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital

Beroun Hospital's rehabilitation center offers comprehensive medical rehabilitation aimed at reducing or positively impacting patient disabilities, enhancing the quality of life, and supporting full integration into society.

Hospitalized patients receive up to 10 treatment procedures daily, depending on their health condition, with fewer procedures on weekends and holidays.

REHABILITATION TREATMENT

1. Physiotherapy

The center's team of qualified physiotherapists provides a full range of advanced analytical and neurophysiological procedures. They are combined to treat patients with neurological, trauma, and orthopedic issues, as well as those with spinal pain or other medical conditions. Treatments include:

Individual physiotherapy

• Neurophysiology-based techniques
• Conditioning and analytical approaches
• Locomotion and mobility exercises
• Patient instruction and training
• Supervised machine-based exercises
• Machine-based exercises with visual feedback

Group physiotherapy

• Includes group exercises guided by physiotherapists.

2. Occupational Therapy

This therapy focuses on maximizing life quality, social integration, and independence for disabled individuals. Occupational therapy is provided either individually or in groups, depending on the disability and type of activity. The most significant activities include:

• Training in the activities of daily living (ADL)
• Locomotion, stimulation, fine motor skills, and cognitive function training
• Patient instruction

3. Physical Therapy

The rehabilitation center uses physical therapy methods to address a range of symptoms from neurological, orthopedic, traumatic, and vertebrogenic disorders, including:

• joint and muscular pain;
• muscle tone disorders;
• muscular atrophy and paresis;
• blood circulation issues;
• limb swelling.

The center's physical therapy division uses a number of machines and devices to treat these conditions. The center employs the following physical therapy methods:

• all forms of electrotherapy;
• therapeutic ultrasound;
• laser therapy;
• magnetotherapy;
• shockwave therapy;
• instrumental therapy for swelling;
• cryotherapy;
• paraffin and peat wraps;
• traditional massages;
• manual lymphatic drainages

Electrostimulation and electrogymnastics treat muscle atrophy and improve muscle contraction for patients with peripheral paralysis. Certain devices enable the simultaneous use of multiple physical treatment procedures, which enhances their effectiveness.

4. Hydrotherapy

The modern hydrotherapy division features two pools for group patient therapy.

• The larger pool maintains a water temperature of 28–32°C, has a depth of 120 cm, and includes a rehabilitation walkway with a height-adjustable bottom, as well as a counter-current feature.
• The smaller massage pool, with a depth of 105 cm and a water temperature of 36°C, is equipped with jets for underwater massages.

The individual treatment area provides several options, such as full-body whirlpool baths, which positively impact reflex changes, chronic limb swelling, post-trauma conditions, and more.

5. Other Devices and Machines

The center provides:

• Exercise bicycles
• MOTOmeds
• Motor-driven splints for knee, hip, and shoulder joints
• Balancing platforms
• Stability training and verticalization devices
• Moving walkways
• Verticalization tables
• Parallel bars
• Suspension exercise devices (Redcord)

6. Fully Equipped Gym

Physiotherapists supervise exercises on the machines.

David machines

David fitness machines strengthen and balance weakened muscles. They test muscle strength and range of motion directly on the machines, with visual feedback on screens and supervision by qualified physiotherapists.

Hur machines

These high-quality fitness machines strengthen the muscles of the trunk and lower and upper limbs. Users set individual loads and machine positions via touchscreens. During the initial session, a trainer sets the load and position, and this data is stored on the patient's smart card.

3D Space curl machine

This machine improves proprioception and kinesthesia. It strengthens motor units of muscles that are difficult to activate voluntarily and do not respond well to other neurophysiological procedures.

Cardio and relaxation zone

The gym includes a cardio zone with special treadmills, cycling machines, steppers, and a hand-strengthening machine. This area prepares the body for exercise and helps with cooldowns. In the relaxation zone, patients can use a VELUS JET dry massage bath. The bath offers eight combinable variants and the possibility to set your own programs, including time and priority for the targeted body part.
