[Different phases in neurologic rehabilitation. Association of German Pension Insurance Carriers].

Elaborated by the project subgroup for "Neurological Rehabilitation" of the Federation of German Pension Insurance Institutes, the phase model presented describes the phases of neurological care and rehabilitation for patients with neurological conditions (notably stroke, craniocerebral trauma, and multiple sclerosis). It deals with acute and intensive care, inpatient medical rehabilitation, as well as the phase of aftercare and the care/rehabilitation phase where long-term support, attendant and/or maintenance measures are required (outpatient or partial-hospitalization medical rehabilitation modalities are not included as yet). Based on patient characteristics, care and rehabilitation goals are specified along with the care and rehabilitation tasks that can be derived from these, with great diversity of individual management course being possible.
