Recovery after a stroke

Centrokinetic has a Department dedicated to Neurological Diseases, in which vertebral elongations are performed. It covers an area of 120 square meters and is equipped with the latest equipment, which meets the needs of our patients and is necessary for optimal treatment. Our physiotherapists are licensed and overspecialized in physiotherapy and special motor skills, having numerous courses, among which we mention:

• ERGON technical course
• KinesioTaping
• Flossing band
• Dynamic tape
• Yumeiho Therapy Course
• Aquashape Fitness Scandinavia Workshop
• Calarco Method kinesiotaping course
• Osteopathy courses
• Manual Therapy Courses

Medical recovery plays an important role in this condition, having several purposes:

• Preventing another stroke
• Prevention and treatment of medical complications
• Pharmacological facilitation of the neuro recovery process
• Learning how to relieve symptoms
• Consolidation and improvement of motor control, balance, and coordination in motor actions
• Acquiring self-service activities by promoting palliative movements
• Automation of usual movements
• Active and conscious inclusion in verbal activity
• Conscious inclusion in compensating for speech and comprehension defects
• Application of intervention methodologies and techniques on attention, memory, spatial perception, calculation, and praxis depending on the heterogeneity of cognitive deficit
• Management of post-stroke depression and anxiety
• Comprehensive analysis and interventions on psychosocial functions

Centrokinetic is also the only medical center in Romania where transcranial electrical stimulation is performed in Parkinson's disease.

What is transcranial electrical stimulation?

Transcranial electrical stimulation is gaining more and more ground nowadays, being a therapy with very good results in many neurological diseases, but also for improving sports performance, or for increasing intellectual capacity. 

It can be used in neurological disorders as first-line therapy, or in combination with drug treatments, and remains an alternative if patients acquire drug resistance (drug resistance) or have not obtained favorable results after existing classic treatments. Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) is a simple, painless method of treatment that uses an electric current of around 1mA, and induces long-lasting positive brain changes. 

The basic idea of transcranial electrical stimulation therapy is a simple one: practically a low-frequency current, generated by a battery is delivered to the brain using electrodes of different types and sizes. The electrodes mounted on the scalp will deliver the current on the cortical area of interest, the current being subsequently recruited by other electrodes (return) which can also be positioned at the level of the head or the level of the neck. Through the electrodes, the device generates low-frequency currents and electric fields (measured in V / m) on the brain. These electric fields are those that modulate neural activity, producing modulatory effects of neural activity, such as excitability or inhibitors, but also produce long-lasting plasticity effects, involving synaptic changes. This aspect emphasizes in the most obvious way, the clinical utility of tES therapy.
