title: Standards of neurologic-neurosurgical early rehabilitation--a concept of the study group neurological-neurosurgical early rehabilitation.
abstract: Neurological neurosurgical early rehabilitation (NNER) is a new important therapeutic link within the spectrum of neurorehabilitation. This concept was formulated by expert opinion of the German Task Force on NNER to define both the structural and process quality of rehabilitation in patients who sustained brain damage with sensory motor, cognitive, and neurobehavioural impairment. NNER is focused on improving higher nervous functions, preventing or treating secondary and tertiary complications and thus to recuse disabilities. This concept is based on interdisciplinary teamwork and needs multidisciplinary cooperation with all specialists involved. The progress of recovery can be measured with the aid of the Coma Remission Scale.
