Areas of Treatment
Internal Medicine/Cardiology
Severe Covid-19 pneumonia can lead to structural and haemodynamic lung changes. Through training-based rehabilitation, significant improvements in maximum oxygen uptake and cardiopulmonary performance can be achieved.
You will be assigned to the Internal Medicine/Cardiology treatment module if at least two of the following criteria are met:
- Severe course of Covid-19 disease
- Residual cardiopulmonary symptoms (e.g. congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, etc.)
- Basic cardiac disease
- Cardiac risk factor profile
Severe COVID-19 pneumonia can lead to lung changes that can be improved by exercise-based rehabilitation. Patients with underlying cardiac diseases or a cardiac risk factor profile can also benefit from follow-up COVID-19 treatment, as they too often experience a severe course of COVID-19 disease. Covid-19 disease, in turn, often leads to a worsening of existing cardiac problems.

Orthopaedics
After an inpatient stay, patients often suffer from musculoskeletal, generalised weakness as well as restrictions in mobility and everyday life. After a severe COVID-19 illness it is therefore likely that orthopaedic co-care will also be necessary. This is intended to help you regain your independence and slowly return to your everyday life and work.
You will be assigned to the orthopaedic treatment module if at least two of the following criteria are met:
- Musculoskeletal complaints and restrictions in the activities of daily life
- Weakened general condition
- Breathing pump weakening
Therapeutic elements in this module are targeted respiratory therapy including mobilisation of adjacent regions such as the cervical and thoracic spine, medical training therapy to increase cardiopulmonary endurance and improvement of trunk stability and strength of the upper and lower extremities, manual therapy / osteopathy to improve trunk mobility as well as pain therapy, acupuncture, shock wave and cryotherapy.

Neurology
According to the current state of the literature, the Covid-19 disease is caused by the Sars-CoV2 virus (Corona virus for short) and characterised by viral pneumonia with varying degrees of severity.
They are assigned to the neurological treatment module under the following indications:
- Neurological deficit with restriction of activities of daily living (according to the Barthel index) including neuropsychological deficits
- Cognitive disorder with restricted participation
- Breathing pump weakening
Therapeutic elements of this module are therapy groups and individual therapy, remedies for mobilisation in order to strengthen you again for coping with everyday life, logopaedics for swallowing disorders and tracheotomy and pharmacological support according to somatic neurological indication.

Psychosomatic
The social isolation, financial and work-related worries, the concern about infecting oneself or others, the high stigma of Covid-19 infection, domestic violence and uncertainty about how long the situation will last have already led to a significant increase in depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.
They are assigned to the psychosomatic treatment module under the following indications:
- Anxiety disorders
- Stress disorders
- Further mental illnesses
Therapeutic elements of this module are Psychotherapeutic Treatment, with specific post-Covid-19 module, Group Therapy, with specific post-Covid-19 indicative group and physiotherapy, mobilisation and respiratory therapy / training.
