cereneo: more details about the clinic

Switzerland, Vitznau

cereneo was founded in 2012 in the Vitznau municipality on the shore of Lake Lucerne. Alpine nature, thermal waters, and fresh air create a supportive environment for the speedy recovery of patients.

cereneo strong points

Individual approach. Every patient has a rehabilitation program developed exclusively for his/her needs.
Robotic systems. The clinic applies innovative rehabilitation devices that accelerate the recovery process of the musculoskeletal system.
The utmost care. The medical team has numerous staff and accounts 3 times more doctors than patients, so everyone who undergoes rehabilitation gets the highest attention.
Inhouse research institute — cefir. Its specialists develop and test new therapeutic methods, the most effective of which are used to treat patients of the center.

Technologies applied at cereneo

cereneo neurorehabilitologists use modern robotic systems that allow to work out limbs. To monitor the dynamics of treatment, doctors use motion sensors that help to fix the patient's condition and balance.

Among them are:

The Armeo Power Exoskeleton. It helps to work out arms, improves muscle tone, increases the amplitude of joints movement.
The ZeroG System for gait, body movements, and balance coordination. The system supports the patient's body, eliminating the risk of falling.
The Parker Indego Exoskeleton. It aims to support patients with brain or spinal cord injuries to learn walking again. The robot puts legs in motion, distributing the load and training the balance.
The Erigo simulator. It maintains a vertical position of the body, and the patient adapts to physical activity. Exercises with Erigo prepare the lower limbs for the next step in restoring walking.
Lokomat Treadmill Training. This device has different speeds adjustable for legs. A doctor prescribes this therapy to train the patient's brain control walking independently.

Sensor devices and feedback sensors help the doctor to analyze the patient's condition during or after treatment in everyday life.

Stroke treatment

To restore patients after a stroke, clinic doctors use robotic devices in combination with the following types of therapy:

non-surgical brain stimulation — a method of restoring muscle strength and speech
speech therapy — training of talking and swallowing function
neuropsychology — a set of exercises to correct the memory, abstract thinking, attention.

Additionally, a patient is consulted by various specialists who give recommendations for lifestyle correction and develop a maintenance therapy program for home performing.

I want to recognize Cereneo”s work. I was one of their first patients. Approximately 10 years have gone since I was at Cereneo. Today I am doing great and I recommend Cereneo and their fantastic people to help the people come back to a normal life.

The saying "While being insured, become involuntarily brain injured in the 21st century, and end up treated as garbage by society as a whole" takes all its meaning: Despite the respect certainly owed to this clinic, if the host country wasn't that heinously selective with nationwide patient populations, neurological patients such as myself wouldn't be forcibly converted to costly non-neurological psychiatric (ill-)treatment along the years! I've lost way too much before figuring out and reaching cereneo on my own, unfortunately, most of the Swiss medical community favor profiting off the lack of political legitimacy to reform BRAIN INJURY CARE; emphasizing why this very serious public health problem don't consistently appear to signify that much of a concern to them.

Unfortunately, communication is slow. At the beginning of the week I was asked when I would like to come in, the same week I was told there was no space. There is no difference whether you have private or general insurance, except there are no significant differences when it comes to food. That's why I'm foregoing a stay. It's a shame, everything is talked about in gold on the internet.
