title: [Problems in water bed therapy from the point of view of the neurologist (author's transl)].
abstract: Patients suffering from various diseases are hospitalized in water beds for therapeutical reasons. By means of a detailed report on the course of the disease in 3 characteristic cases it can be shown, that water bed therapy is an useful additional therapeutic measure in critical situations. Thrombotic attacks, which take place as side-effects in some cases, seem to be caused by a retardation of the bloodstream and have to be treated with conventional antithrombotic therapy. Apart from hemodynamic factors also the temperature of the water might take part in provoking thrombotic attacks.
