These therapies are organised in additional sessions.Additional sessions are subject to the “Poga” pricelist.
The patient's condition is assessed at the beginning and the end of the therapy course to determine the effectiveness of the rehabilitation and to identify an appropriate subsequent therapy. Internationally recognised rating scales are used for evaluation. First-time patients are tested using the GMFM - 88 scale (it takes 1 h on average) and PBS scale (10-15 min. on average); for repeated courses the patients are tested using the GMFM-66IS scale.
The "Therasuit" neurorehabilitation therapy course fee is charged for the actually performed sessions in the rehabilitation room and the actual work carried out with the patient's data.
