Asklepios Neurological Clinic Falkenstein

Set high on the wooded slopes of the Taunus mountain range in the certified climate resort of Königstein-Falkenstein, Asklepios Neurological Clinic Falkenstein is a high-capacity regional epicenter for acute early rehabilitation and long-term neurological recovery in Hesse. Elevated above the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan area, the hospital leverages the pristine, low-pollutant mountain air of its therapeutic microclimate to support patient recovery from severe central and peripheral nervous system injuries. The specialist facility is engineered around a seamless, multi-tiered neurological care continuum that guides patients directly from early post-acute critical care back to real-world functional independence. Furthermore, the 3 floors of the medical facility are equipped with high-tech devices, gyms, and swimming pools. Also, certificates from the German Society for Neurorehabilitation and the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare guarantee high-quality and safe therapy. In addition, the unique evolution of medical nutrition is certified by the German Nutrition Society. The facility has a specialized phase B early rehabilitation and intensive care division, which treats individuals emerging from catastrophic brain injuries, severe ischemic strokes, subarachnoid hemorrhages, hypoxic encephalopathy, and neuro-inflammatory crises. Built around a high-tech intensive monitoring infrastructure, this unit excels in prolonged mechanical ventilation weaning and complex tracheostomy decannulation. Specialized respiratory therapists work continuously alongside intensive care nurses and neurologists to restore autonomous breathing, clear compromised airways, and resolve severe swallowing impairments through point-of-care flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. This intensive medical backstop ensures that fragile, bedridden patients receive continuous acute surveillance without interrupting their early neuro-motor activation protocols. Considering the range of disorders the hospital deals with, the latest Philips MX 700 monitoring systems closely monitor critical patients' conditions. This approach contributes to a quick response to deteriorating conditions. Neurosurgeons, therapists, neurologists, and rehabilitation specialists work as a multidisciplinary team for each case.  Specialists use classical methods (Bobath, PNF, NAP, and Vojta) and robotic cure techniques.  For example, ReWalk Gait Training and G-EO SYSTEM simulate the natural functional gait of the legs, achieve high movement recovery results, and maintain the patient's motivation level. Armeo Arm Training helps to individually conduct exercises for the upper limbs with constant progress analysis. Another new remedy method is Actigait subcutaneous neuroprosthesis. This implant uses electrical stimulation of the foot for active walking after a stroke. Thanks to such modern equipment and doctors' desire to use the latest medical methods, the clinic was included in the top list of rehabilitation hubs 4 times in a row, according to the editors of FOCUS.  In addition, its impeccable reputation contributed to Asklepios Neurological Clinic Falkenstein being one of the few institutions recognized by the Society of Neuropsychology and the Chamber of Psychotherapists for clinical neuropsychology internships. As patients stabilize and move into rehabilitation phases C and D, therapeutic focus transitions toward neuro-plastic restoration, robotic-assisted motor training, and cognitive re-education. The clinic incorporates advanced biomechanical diagnostic tools and therapeutic robotics, utilizing automated gait trainers, weight-supported movement platforms, and specialized upper-limb sensorimotor devices to retrain neural pathways and address severe hemiparesis. Innovative multisensory stimulation modalities and neuropsychological interventions are deployed to treat spatial neglect, executive dysfunction, aphasia, and post-traumatic memory deficits.
