Rehabilitation off-sites for people with brain damage
Project DOT/81/01/001784/2023
Project period: 01/2023 – 12/2023
The project is focused on rehabilitation and reconditioning exercises outside one’s own social environment, which is supplemented by other leisure and social activities, e.g. walks, social games. Rehabilitation off-sites are important in the rehabilitation of people after brain damage. They complement the long-term, targeted rehabilitation of both cognitive and physical functions, which contributes to increasing the quality of life and self-sufficiency of people after brain damage. At the same time, rehabilitation off-sites have a relaxing and supportive effect on family members who take care of these disabled people and who themselves have health and social problems due to such excessive and long-term mental and physical stress. During reconditioning off-sites with caregivers, it offers space for relaxation, social contacts and interests, and thus increases their readiness and motivation to provide this care in the following period. The program touches on all problematic areas of people with brain injury, namely limitations in the area of physical, cognitive, social and mental functions. The exercises that the participants learn during the rehabilitation stay can also be applied at home. In addition to the therapeutic and preventive effect, rehabilitation for the participants also has an educational character.
Community rehabilitation program for people with brain damage
Project DOT/81/01/001783/2023
Project period: 01/2023 – 12/2023
The main goal of the project is to improve the quality of life of people with acquired brain damage through regular educational and rehabilitation activities, supporting the improvement of their physical and psychological condition and breaking down social isolation. It is aimed at supporting and developing the cognitive, executive, physical and communication skills of people with acquired brain damage and their families, helping to solve their health, mental and social needs. Long-term intensive rehabilitation is an important part of achieving and maintaining progress. Conventional health services cannot sufficiently fulfill these requirements, and in addition to the acquired limitations, difficulties of a secondary nature caused by previous inactivity are associated. The project therefore reacts to this situation, which has additionally worsened due to repeated isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and provides comprehensive services leading to the restoration and development of damaged functions, including the education necessary to prevent secondary complications.
