Circulatory system diseases are the leading cause of death in our country. Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the elderly, but working people younger than 30-45 years of age are not spared either.

In addition to stroke, there are other indications such as traumatic brain injuries, brain and spinal cord tumors, spinal cord injuries, degenerative diseases of the brain and spine, autoimmune diseases, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, polyneuropathy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and other diseases.

Advantages of HUBER in neurorehabilitation

HUBER 360° has become an indispensable therapeutic method in our branch of the Terme Polyclinic in Rijeka, due to its unique effect on a wide range of different neurological conditions. Its greatest advantage is the control of mobility, which allows for a wide range of therapeutic applications. The reliability and precision of the measurement is more than a useful tool for the team of experts in setting up the therapeutic method and the course of recovery.

How does HUBER 360° treat?

The treatment is divided into four movement bases: Flexibility and Mobility, Dynamic Strengthening; Posture and Balance, Endurance. Huber improves neuromuscular efficiency in older adults, especially women, and improves trunk and leg strength, balance and body composition, thereby preventing falls. For patients with multiple sclerosis, an improvement in walking speed has been observed after 10 light training sessions. Also preoperatively, neuromuscular training increases the quality and speed of postoperative recovery in total knee or hip replacements, and proprioception and balance training are beneficial for patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. HUBER has a wide range of indications.

HUBER effects in numbers

Rehabilitation with HUBER, acting on the whole body, increases balance, coordination and strength. Increases strength in the trunk muscles by 30%. Significantly improves balance by 15%. Reduces body fat by 10%. Significantly improves quality of life by 18%. Restores stability and balance in 80% of cases. Increases strength by 23%. Improves posture in 86% of cases.

Clinical research conducted on the basis of patient rehabilitation at the CNRF rehabilitation center in Belgium, under the supervision of specialist Dr. Benoit Maertens, has shown the basic features of working with HUBER:

• It gives results and is safe, regardless of age and stage of disease
• It is effective in improving balance, coordination and strength
• Patients love it because it is very pleasant and stimulating
• Increases general muscle strength
• Helps restore automatic reflexes in contact with the ground
• Beneficial effect on balance

How do we determine the medical status and usefulness of HUBER therapy?

The technology of the patented static-dynamic HUBER 360° platform is at the service of neuroplasticity of the brain. For good preparation, tests are performed, in just 15 minutes, which determine the patient's medical status: Stability test, Gait test, Balance test/risk of falling, Mobility limitation test, Stability test limits, Strength test, Coordination test. The patient will also fill out a Questionnaire on the quality of life. With the help of all collected data.

What does the success of the therapy depend on?

Neurological rehabilitation is one of the main activities and competences of physical medicine and rehabilitation because by stimulating nerve cells and their connections, it restores lost or reduced body functions. Today we are talking about neurorehabilitation, which is based on the principles of neuroplasticity, that is, the ability of the brain to change permanently. The skills and methods developed so far are still being improved. Specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation provide neurorehabilitation services in cooperation with neurologists, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, psychologists and other specialists as needed.

The rehabilitation process begins with a diagnostic examination and goal setting. The main parts of the neurological examination are: mental status, cranial nerves, motor function - tone, strength, reflexes; sensory function - pain, temperature, vibration, proprioception, stereognosia, cerebral function, gait.

What is a neurorehabilitation plan?

The neurorehabilitation plan is individually tailored to each patient. It is carried out through 3 stages: acute in the first 6 hours, subacute 1 to 3 hours of therapy per day and chronic with a new approach to functional training on specialized technology. Therefore, adequate and especially early medical rehabilitation represents a significant part of reducing the consequences of stroke.

The duration of therapy can be from 3-5 hours, three to five times a week. There is increasing evidence of the impact of therapeutic exercise on cortical reorganization after stroke. Recovery is manifested through the restoration of motor and neurological functions. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of an active patient. By combining conventional and robotic therapy, we achieve the ‘best possible’.

What is the main goal of neurorehabilitation?

The main goal of complex rehabilitation is a safe, independent, pleasant and efficient life with the smallest possible measure of incapacity or disability. At least once a year, the patient's status is monitored with control examinations and the need for additional neurorehabilitation programs is planned.
