The Eber 3-Stage Integrated Protocol
Developed by Professor Sun Chenyan, the Eber Protocol is the gold standard for treating spastic cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, and paraplegia. It moves beyond isolated symptoms to provide a comprehensive roadmap for lifelong functional recovery.
FSPR Surgery
Functional Selective Posterior Rhizotomy
The foundation of the Eber approach. This precision neurosurgical procedure targets the root cause of spasticity by selectively sectioning overactive dorsal nerve rootlets. It permanently reduces muscle tone (spasticity) while preserving sensory and motor function.
- ✓ Permanent spasticity reduction
- ✓ Elimination of 'scissors gait'
- ✓ Immediate release of muscle tension
CP-MMA Surgery
Muscle Strength & Tone Adjustment
Performed as a secondary corrective procedure after spasticity is resolved. Eber surgeons perform a combination of tendon lengthening, muscle transfers, and bone alignment to correct long-term deformities and balance muscle strength.
- ✓ Correction of bone deformities
- ✓ Improved joint range of motion
- ✓ Functional alignment of limbs
MDT Neurorehabilitation
Multidisciplinary Integrated Recovery
Based on the Eber mantra: 'No Rehabilitation — No Surgery.' This stage combines advanced robotic systems (Lokomat) with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to rebuild neural pathways and achieve functional independence.
- ✓ Functional motor recovery
- ✓ Gait pattern restoration
- ✓ Regaining activities of daily living (ADL)
MDT Philosophy: "No Rehab — No Surgery"
At Eber Medical Group, we believe that neurosurgery is only half of the journey. Our Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach ensures that every surgical intervention is perfectly synchronized with a rigorous rehabilitation plan.
Following the Eber 3-Stage Protocol, patients don't just 'get better'—they regain the ability to walk, use their hands for fine motor tasks, and reintegrate into society. Our integrated model combines the precision of Western neurosurgery with the deep healing potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Why the Order Matters:
"Trying to rehabilitate a spastic limb is like trying to drive with the handbrake on. We use FSPR (Stage 1) to release the handbrake, CP-MMA (Stage 2) to fix the mechanics, and Rehab (Stage 3) to learn how to drive again." — Prof. Sun Chenyan
