Inpatient rehabilitation in Loewenstein hospital Rehabilitation center

History of Israel is a dramatic. For more than half a century, the Jews lead their war: first the foundation of their own state and then for its conservation. In this case, war is the constant fighting with their consequences: death, destruction, contusions and wounds. In 1958 Loewenstein center was founded for persons who have suffered during the military conflicts. It has the purpose of recovery and return to normal life of soldiers with amputees and other injuries of constant war. Much of that was designed for paramilitary purposes, soon the rehabilitation center began to take civil visitors. Today it is a multifield hospital which offers its care to all people who need to recover from serious accidents, injuries, illnesses, operations, including foreigners.

Loewenstein center is a large medical complex:

• About 300 concurrent hospitalizations
• 12 000 hospitalizations in hospital for a year.
• 100 paramedics, 200 nurses and 47 doctors.

Doctors returned to relatively normal life 80% of patients with post-traumatic syndrome, 92% of stroke, 56% of the brain injury. Medical staff are treated with patients virtually as healthy people. So, a person stops to require constantly care to themselves from others and learn to take care of himself. This is probably affected the military factor and the military rigor. If the patient can do something himself, a nurse or a doctor will not help him and motivate to do by himself. Doctors are used medical and psychological methods to return a person to the conditions that preceded the accident, injury, illness, or injury. Someone can say that such techniques are too rigid, but they work and show good results.
