Gliederung

Text

Patients who have sustained major traumatic brain injury or stroke are transferred for acute rehabilitation to the “Zentrum für Rehabilitationsmedizin Hamburg (ZRH)” at the Workmen’s Compensation Hospital in Hamburg. At the time of transferral some patients are still ventilator-dependent, severely cognitive impaired. At the ZRH specific outcome assessments (e. g. Functional Independence Measurement, Acute Rehabilitation Barthel Index) are routinely evaluated at regular intervals. We like to demonstrate data of 120 patients who were treated at our interdisciplinary rehab unit from 01/2009 to 06/2011. Apart from mere statistical data like the duration of stay, mortality or different forms of discharge, we bring the focus on the achieved motor recovery and the recovery of cognitive functions.
