Rehabilitation
Peroneal nerve palsy can result from damage to either the central or peripheral nervous system, although peripheral causes are more frequent. The condition primarily affects the common peroneal nerve, which branches from the sciatic nerve and runs around the fibular head, making it particularly vulnerable due to its superficial location and anatomical course.
Imagine your life changing overnight. After an unexpected illness or accident you end up in hospital, where doctors do everything to save your life. However, after acute care you often face the situation of being left on your own on the road to further recovery. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case in Hungary but a systemic problem that severely affects thousands of patients.
A muscle strain is an injury that occurs when your muscles are overstretched or overloaded. This condition is accompanied by pain, swelling and a limited range of motion, something anyone who leads an active lifestyle will encounter a few times. It can vary in severity from a mild strain (merely a few torn muscle fibers) to a complete muscle rupture.
I am often approached by people with musculoskeletal problems. I frequently notice that most of them want some medication or surgical intervention that will immediately solve their complaints. Such an immediate fix does not exist. In fact, I am convinced that physiotherapy can often be the most effective solution. In this article I would like to explain why I often recommend physiotherapy and how it can help your recovery.
“I had an accident four months ago; besides other injuries, one of my lumbar vertebrae was crushed and fixed with screws. I spent several days in intensive care. After being transferred to the ward I received some physiotherapy and some physical therapy. My problem is that I still haven't regained my strength. My thigh muscles have thinned, walking is difficult and I get tired quickly. I'd like to get some kind of device. Please advise me.” — I regularly receive questions like this.
In this video I present the DuoBravo ETS device, which is an important device in the final phase of stroke rehabilitation.
Medical fitness is a healthcare service aimed at achieving improvements for patients through exercise. Within this framework, physicians, physiotherapists and medical fitness trainers work together to create an individualized training plan for the patient that takes into account the patient's specific health condition and goals. Medical fitness programs generally target conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, joint pain, overweight and stress.
The home ergometer is an effective aid for recovery from serious illness, that is, for rehabilitation. In this article you can learn more about these devices.
Nowadays, both public and private hospitals perform knee and hip replacement surgeries almost on an assembly line. Worn joints are replaced one after another. However, in a significant proportion of operations the expected level of improvement does not materialize. But why is that?
The medical device manufacturer Globus offers a wide range of sports stimulators (not only) for athletes. The therapeutic quality of the devices is outstanding, and their program selection is so abundant that it can confuse not only those who are just getting to know stimulators but also regular users. I would like to help you navigate this with this article.
One of the fundamental tenets of medicine is: “Medicus curat, natura sanat” — the physician treats, nature heals. The essence of physiotherapeutic methods is that, without drugs, they support your body's own self-healing mechanisms so your body can overcome illnesses. Let’s look at the details.
The term “jumper's knee” is used for inflammation of the tendon (patellar) that connects the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone. This tendon plays a role in straightening your knee, working together with the extensor muscles on the front surface of the thigh. From this it follows that it most often occurs in athletes with repeated jumping movements. Examples include basketball and volleyball. Strengthening the thigh muscles is required in many sports, so jumper's knee is very common where training includes lots of hopping exercises or weighted squat jumps. These exercises place huge load on the tendon.
