Neurological Early Rehabilitation In Children And Adolescents

After an acute severe injury of the central nervous system early neurological rehabilitation in a specialized center immediately after discharge from an intensive care unit is essential in children and adolescents. At this early stage of the disease children are still unstable. There is a high requirement for medical and nursing care that necessitates the monitoring and treatment possibilities of a tertiary care hospital. The main medical tasks are the responsibility of acute medical treatment and management of treatment in a multiprofessional team; however, many children never completely recover and are discharged from hospital often with severe impairments. Accompanying the children and their families under these new circumstances and the preparation for social integration and participation is a core task for the entire team.
