[Interdisciplinary cooperation in rehabilitation--problem solving following severe craniocerebral injury].

Therapy and rehabilitation of patients with craniocerebral trauma is particularly difficult to programme on account of the neuropsychological defects and personality changes found in this population. The Ulm rehabilitation hospital seeks to face up to this fact by intense interdisciplinary cooperation in the nursing and medical sector, the fields of logopaedics, Occupational Therapy, physiotherapy, immediate post-acute therapy including cerebral training, as well as the entire field of vocational rehabilitation. A dense time schedule has been established for graded introduction of the necessary therapeutic interventions in the sense of a therapy chain, with intense information flows among the therapists involved, thus ensuring a continuous process and joint adjustment of programming to the individual course, to new problems that may arise. The implementation of this concept is set out on the example of a young patient with craniocerebral injury, who had received treatment in various of our departments for a total of 12 months, finally bringing him up to the conclusion of his vocational education.

[Fitness assessment and work therapy in a Phase II facility--a case example].

A case example is used to set out the practice of vocational assessment and work adjustment in a medical-vocational, i.e. Phase II, facility. Formulated jointly by the rehabilitation team, the basic therapy objectives, by constant liaison with the employer, are differentiated in view of the future place of work and the performance required from the patient. The individual case serves to illustrate the effectiveness of this therapy approach intended to smoothen the transition from inpatient treatment to vocational reintegration.
