Neurological therapy
Central Nervous System (Brain and Spinal Cord) is the most complex
Organ in the human body. Damages of the brain and spinal cord (neurological damages) result with very complex problems that manifest in different ways, such as loss of movement control, balance, speech difficulties, difficulties of memory, perception, orientation or behavioural changes.

Neurological illness can change a persons' life from the bottom, as well as the lives of the people close to them. Because of partial or complete inability to perform a movement, activities of daily living are limited and therefore the possibility of self organization and integration in further living is also limited.

How can ReAktiva help?
Specially educated members of our multidisciplinary team (physiotherapists, occupational therapist and neuropsychologist) work together to help you in recruiting important movement activities such as: walking or hand-fist activities. Through team work we elaborate your possibilities of adjustment to the everyday living.

Example of a case of spinal cord damage:
A.M., 24 years; Four years ago she suffered a hard accident in which her spinal cord in the neck area was damaged (C 5/6). Incomplete distal tetra paresis with expressive instability in lower trunk area. She had an operation procedure and stabilization and was referred to rehabilitation centre.

Through recommendation from an expert co operant she came to ReAktiva. In arrival this was patients' functional and psychological condition: stiffness of shoulder grid and neck. Spasticity of upper and lower extremities; 3-4 times a day catheterisation done by other person. In attempts to walk, stand or change positions, she would fall.

After functional condition evaluation the team determined suitable daily therapy plan. After stabilization of motoric problems spasticity was no longer expressive and a patient is able to walk with the assistance of one person or completely by herself using walking sticks.

With the assistance of neuropsychologist a patient chose a path of returnment into an everyday living by enrolling into an economy college and graduated on time with very good success. A.M. is able to overcome all the obstacles alone or with the help of one person. Further goal is aimed to bigger independence in walking, driving a car and enrolling into a working environment.
