Ictal Centre

The Hospital Jihlava ranks among the ictal centres, of which there are approximately 30 in the Czech Republic and only two in the Vysočina Region. Together with the neurology department, we provide comprehensive care for stroke patients. The rehabilitation team consists of rehabilitation doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, speech therapists and a clinical psychologist. Our stroke centre is equipped with modern equipment such as:
Armeo Spring - a robotic device designed to exercise the affected upper limb with gravity compensation,
Amadeo - an apparatus for training active and passive movement of the fingers, including the thumb,
Artromot - the shoulder mobilizer,
Tymo Professional - balance mat with feedback (monitor) for functional training of standing, or sitting, and dynamic loading of the lower limb with electric walkway, upper and lower limb whirlpools and other devices and aids.
Photos of the above mentioned devices can be seen in the department's photo gallery.
In indicated patients, we perform a targeted examination of limb spasticity using Professor Gracies' concept, followed by complex treatment using precisely indicated prolonged stretching, repetitive strengthening of weakened muscles and focal injection of botulinum toxin into spastic muscles.
