Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, 2nd Medical Faculty, Charles University and University Hospital Motol

Basic information


 

Clinic rehabilitation and sports medicine of the 2nd Medical Faculty of Charles University and the University Hospital Motol consists of 4 separate departments:

  1. Adult and child rehabilitation
  2. Spinal unit
  3. Department of Sports Medicine
  4. Center for research and treatment of painful conditions

The Rehabilitation Clinic provides physiotherapy and medical rehabilitation to adult and pediatric patients in its entirety across all medical disciplines.

We provide care to outpatients (adult and pediatric wards) and hospitalized patients (at individual clinics and wards of the adult and pediatric wards of the hospital). The clinic includes an acute inpatient rehabilitation care department.

The department specializes in the following issues:

  • respiratory physiotherapy, which is one of the dominant activities of the clinic and has been developed here for a long time. It is used in both adult and pediatric patients (pulmonary and systemic diseases, therapy of patients registered in the CF center at the FN in Motola, post-operative conditions, lung transplantation)
  • treatment of spasticity, including the application of botulinum toxin
  • therapy of pelvic floor disorders
  • therapy of vestibular disorders
  • visceral rehabilitation
  • swallowing disorders
  • consultation room for amputee patients

There are also other special programs at the clinic. Severe forms of cerebral palsy are assessed at interdisciplinary seminars of a super-conciliar nature (intended for patients under 18 years of age from all over the Czech Republic). The clinic also participates in the monitoring and therapy of pathological newborns, patients with hereditary neuropathy.

The diagnostic and therapeutic concept of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, which is based on the principles of developmental kinesiology, was developed and put into practice at the clinic. The founder of this concept is the head of the clinic prof. Wheeler. The department participates in teaching this concept in the Czech Republic and abroad.

Ambulance

Patients are available for outpatient appointments in the clinic's records and only on the basis of a recommendation. Each outpatient is first examined by a rehabilitation doctor and then ordered to see a physiotherapist, who will start their own rehabilitation according to the doctor's rehabilitation plan. Unfortunately, our outpatient capacities are only limited, so we preferentially accept patients for therapy in specialized programs or on the recommendation of the attending rehabilitation doctor from the fall within the scope of the super council assessment of the finding.

Bed ward for pediatric patients

The specialized hospital workplace opened on 15 May 2019 is intended for the rehabilitation of children with impaired motor functions after the treatment of neurological, internal and orthopedic diseases and after operations or injuries in the phase when rehabilitation has a dominant role in treatment. A new inpatient department for acute rehabilitation was established as part of the Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine of the 2nd Medical Faculty of Charles University and the Motol University Hospital, and it is the first workplace of this type in the Czech healthcare environment.

The Department of Acute Pediatric Rehabilitation has a capacity of 16 beds and is located on the third floor of the children's section of the Motol University Hospital. It is equipped with special rehabilitation aids and medical devices that are necessary for the effective treatment of children hospitalized here.

"We want to make maximum use of the rehabilitation potential in the early stages after trauma, surgery and in other acute conditions, so that functional motor skills and self-sufficiency improve as much as possible," says prof. PaedDr. Pavel Kolář, Ph.D., head of the Department of Rehabilitation and Physical Education Medicine of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the University of Warsaw and the Motol University of Applied Sciences. The world-renowned physiotherapist has been dealing with children's movement pathology since the beginning of his career and is the author of the diagnostic and therapeutic concept "Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization" (DNS), which is based on the elementary principles of human motility.

In addition to acute care for pediatric patients, the department will also focus on patients in the chronic stage.

In these children, the effect and results of previous rehabilitation treatment will be assessed during hospitalization. New physiotherapeutic, occupational therapy or speech therapy procedures will then be modified or adjusted as needed.

The great advantage of the new department is especially the connection of children's rehabilitation to the specialized specialties of the hospital, ie orthopedics, neurology, pediatrics, etc. to superconsulting examinations. The department is used to teach medical students, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and postgraduate teaching.

Clinical speech therapy

The Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine of the 2nd Medical Faculty of Charles University and the Motol University Hospital also offers its patients speech therapy care. Clinical speech therapists at the Motol University Hospital deal with impaired communication skills in children and adults, swallowing disorders, cognitive-communication deficits and care for adult patients with hearing impairments, especially hearing rehabilitation in patients after cochlear implantation. Speech therapy takes place both in inpatient departments and in the form of outpatient speech therapy care, including regular group therapies for people with aphasia or cognitive-communication deficits.

History

The history of the rehabilitation clinic dates back to 1962, when the Department of Physical Medicine (at the Department of Pediatrics FDL) was established, within which rehabilitation was developed, which at that time did not exist as a separate field. At that time, prof. V. Vojta, who developed the rehabilitation of children with DMO. An independent central rehabilitation department was established only after the children's clinic was moved to Motol in 1969. This rehabilitation department was headed for almost 20 years by prof. MUDr. M. Máček, who introduced physiotherapy of respiratory diseases at the clinic, which he met during his study stay in France. The Department of Rehabilitation was officially founded on June 1, 6 and doc. MUDr. J. Javůrek DrSc, who previously headed the rehabilitation department. From 1988 to 1992 he managed the clinic prof. MUDr. M. Kučera and in 1999 prof. PaedDr. Pavel Kolar, Ph.D.
