Eber Medical Group

Neurorehabilitation

Comprehensive inpatient and outpatient neurorehabilitation based on the Eber mantra: "No Rehabilitation — No Surgery." Our approach combines robotic therapy with the unique integrated Western medicine + Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) model.

The Eber Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Philosophy

At Eber Medical Group, we believe that surgical excellence is only the first step. True functional recovery is achieved through our MDT Philosophy, where neurosurgeons, rehabilitation physicians, and TCM experts work in perfect synchronization. This is Stage 3 of the Eber 3-Stage Protocol.

The Rehabilitation Center at Qingdao Yibo Hospital is equipped with international-standard robotic systems and a dedicated TCM wing. We don't just treat symptoms; we rebuild neural pathways and restore human dignity through functional independence.

Precision TCM Integration

Unlike many centers where TCM is an "add-on," at Eber, it is surgically precise. We use Point-to-Point Acupuncture targeted specifically at motor nerves and Therapeutic Tuina (Massage) to release the muscle fascia immediately after surgery, preventing the recurrence of contractures.

Rehabilitation Methods — Western Medicine

Method Goal Conditions
Robotic Gait Training (Lokomat) Restore walking pattern, endurance, step length CP, stroke, SCI, Parkinson's, MS
Upper Limb Robotic Rehab Fine motor recovery, ADL independence Stroke, CP (post-FSPR), hemiplegia
Physiotherapy (PT) Strength, flexibility, balance, posture All neurological conditions
Occupational Therapy (OT) ADL adaptation, work reintegration Stroke, TBI, CP, MS
Speech & Language Therapy Communication, dysphagia, swallowing ALS, stroke, CP, MS
TMS / rTMS Cortical excitability, spasticity, mood, cognition CP, stroke, Parkinson's, MS, depression
Biofeedback Training Motor relearning, bladder/bowel control SCI, stroke, MS
Shock Wave Therapy Spasticity, soft tissue healing, chronic pain CP, stroke, sports injuries
Balance Training Platform Proprioception, fall prevention Parkinson's, stroke, SCI, CP
Cognitive Rehabilitation Memory, executive function, attention TBI, stroke, MS, Alzheimer's

Technical TCM Rehabilitation

Traditional Chinese Medicine rehabilitation at Eber is delivered by senior-level TCM physicians. Our program focuses on both whole-body regulation and targeted functional restoration using specialized modalities:

🧠
Scalp Acupuncture

Increases cerebral blood flow and activates cortical neurons to improve motor control.

⚡
Point-to-Point Acupuncture

Targets specific motor nerve points to restore muscle function and stimulate regeneration.

🌿
Moxa Therapy (Moxibustion)

Warming action to "dispel cold" in the muscles, improve circulation, and regulate nerve function.

🤲
Therapeutic Tuina

Surgical-grade massage to release muscle fascia and prevent post-operative contractures.

👂
Auricular Therapy

Stimulating reflex points on the ear to modulate the central nervous system and visceral organs.

🏺
Cupping (Banki)

Relieves deep muscle spasms and improves lymphatic drainage in the affected limbs.

Neurorehabilitation — FAQs

What conditions benefit from neurorehabilitation at Eber?
Neurorehabilitation at Eber Medical Group is provided for: cerebral palsy (CP), post-stroke hemiplegia, paraplegia and spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS/MND, traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-surgical recovery (after FSPR, DBS, VNS, SCS), and chronic pain conditions.
What robotic rehabilitation equipment do you use?
The Rehabilitation Center at Qingdao Yibo Hospital uses: Lokomat-type robotic gait training systems, upper limb robotic rehabilitation (intelligent upper extremity system), balance assessment and training platforms, shock wave therapy devices, biofeedback systems, and magnetic laser therapy systems. All inpatient rehabilitation programs integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) including acupuncture and tuina.
How is TCM integrated into neurorehabilitation?
Every rehabilitation program at Eber includes a TCM component: acupuncture (scalp acupuncture, body acupuncture at motor points), tuina therapeutic massage (reduces spasticity and improves circulation), moxa therapy (tonifies Yang and improves nerve function), and herbal medicine where indicated. TCM is not an add-on — it is a core component of the integrated Western medicine + TCM multidisciplinary approach.
How long is a typical rehabilitation stay?
Rehabilitation duration depends on condition severity and goals. Post-FSPR: 3–6 months (1 month inpatient + outpatient follow-up). Post-stroke: 4–8 weeks intensive inpatient + ongoing outpatient. Parkinson's: monthly intensive programs. Multiple sclerosis: 30-day rehabilitation programs (~160,000–180,000 CNY). We tailor each program individually.
