Focus of Treatment
The core aim of inpatient rehabilitation at Rehaklinik Zihlschlacht is to help patients maintain and improve their quality of life, independence, and participation in social life. Upon admission, individual rehabilitation goals are established in close collaboration with the patient and the interdisciplinary treatment team.
Functional therapies, primarily including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and neuropsychology, are designed to reduce existing symptoms and their resulting impairments, or prevent them from worsening. Inpatient rehabilitation at the facility can effectively address functional challenges such as impaired mobility, spasticity, ataxia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and bladder disorders. It also provides vital support for coping with the illness and the psychological consequences of the disease.
Fatigue is a common and challenging symptom, affecting up to 90% of individuals with MS. The clinic holds specialization in the diagnosis and interprofessional treatment of fatigue. Various complementary therapies may also be integrated into the treatment plan. The aim is to empower patients to learn optimal strategies for managing stress, developing personal resources, and strengthening resilience and self-efficacy.
Another key focus at Rehaklinik Zihlschlacht is the treatment of spasticity. A range of treatment options is available here. In addition to physiotherapy and occupational therapy, medication may be prescribed when necessary, or botulinum toxin can be injected into affected muscles under ultrasound guidance. For pronounced spasticity in both legs, intrathecal baclofen administration may be beneficial.
The medical team at the clinic is supported by specialists from various disciplines (e.g., internal medicine, urology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics), who can be involved in therapy as needed.
Occupational therapy evaluation and counseling services are also available to further support patients.
Across all services provided at Rehaklinik Zihlschlacht, the focus remains firmly on the individual needs of patients living with MS. The aim is to ensure they feel comfortable at the clinic and benefit maximally from the wide range of therapies available, enabling them to achieve their goals with the support of the team.

Robotics Center
Clinic’s 100 m2 Robotics Center in the private ward offers a wide range of robotic and technology-assisted therapies in a spacious, bright room. Twenty-eight robotic and conventional exercise devices are available to our patients. The advanced therapy equipment allows patients to begin specific therapies, such as gait therapy, much earlier. The highly repetitive exercises promote motor learning and neural reorganization. Studies show that early use of this equipment improves recovery from stroke and other neurological conditions. During the rehabilitation phase, a variety of equipment is used, each with specific goals.
The C-Mill® is a treadmill with weight support and visual feedback mechanisms. Since the steps are not supported by motors, the C-Mill is aimed at patients already able to walk. With the help of a force measurement plate, a gait analysis can be objectively performed. Visual feedback mechanisms such as projections on the treadmill surface promote a symmetrical gait pattern. The C-Mill is from Motek/Hocoma, DIH.
The DDrobotec System Elite is a modern, pneumatically operated leg press. The focus is on building strength and improving coordination skills of the lower extremities. With individual training protocols, the legs can also be controlled separately. The DDrobotec System Elite is from the Swiss brand ddrobotec.
To stay fit, the body must be regularly challenged. The brain, which functions according to the same principle, is often forgotten in this process. Every movement requires a perfect interplay between body and brain. With the Dividat Senso, precisely this communication is specifically promoted and optimized. The cognitive-motor training sets new stimuli by specifically addressing brain functions in combination with movements. The Dividat Senso is from Dividat.
As a wearable exoskeleton, the Ekso NR® enables free movement in space. Similar to the Lokomat, patients with complete paralysis can begin highly repetitive gait training. However, the focus is on training adequate weight transfer and thus training perception and balance. The Ekso NR® is from Ekso Bionics.
The Erigo® is a tilt table with which the patient can be gradually verticalized. In combination with simple stepping patterns, the cardiopulmonary system can be optimally trained and stabilized. The Erigo is from Hocoma, DIH.
According to scientific study, the Lokomat® is the most effective device in robot-assisted rehabilitation and enables patients to perform physiological gait training on a treadmill with weight support. In combination with feedback mechanisms, patient activity is further promoted. The leg movement is supported by motors, so that patients with complete paralysis of the legs can begin highly repetitive gait training. This results in a wide spectrum of conditions and symptoms that can be rehabilitated using this training device. The Lokomat is from Hocoma, DIH.
Der Valedo® ist ein sensorbasiertes System für ein Rumpftraining mit visuellem Echtzeitfeedback. Die Sensortechnik ermöglicht Patientinnen und Patienten mit einem kleinen Bewegungsbereich ein optimales Rumpftraining. Der Valedo ist von Hocoma, DIH.
The ArmeoSenso® is a sensor-based therapy system for the upper extremities. It is primarily aimed at patients who already have good function in their upper extremities. The ArmeoSenso is from Hocoma, DIH.
The ArmeoSpring® is an arm exoskeleton with weight support. Unloading the arm allows patients to activate existing residual functions, enabling them to complete exercises in a playful way. All movements originate from the patient themselves. The main goal is an increase in the range of motion. The ArmeoSpring is from Hocoma, DIH.
The Gloreha® is a robotic glove for selective finger and hand rehabilitation. Patients without hand function can train passively, with the hand robot mobilizing the hand. Patients with beginning hand function can train actively-assisted; accordingly, the robot only supports the movement when the patient initiates it. The Gloreha is from Idrogenet srl.
The Myro® is an interactive therapy system for the upper extremities with virtual touch applications combined with real objects. Myro therapy offers uni- and bilateral training of gross and fine motor skills. Concentration, coordination, and visuospatial perception can also be trained in a playful way. The Myro is from Tyromotion.
The Pablo® is a sensor-based therapy system for the upper extremities. It can be used for a wide spectrum of patients. Patients with good function can train only with the position sensors. If the position sensors are used with the Multiboard and Multiball, patients with less good function can also train. The Pablo is from Tyromotion.
The IVS3 is based on intensive visual simulation. With the help of a camera, a movement of the healthy arm is recorded and then mirrored on a monitor. When looking at the monitor, patients get the impression that their affected arm is actually moving, which contributes to a significant improvement in motor recovery, a reduction in spasticity, and a reduction of pain in the affected upper extremity. The device is from the company Dessinty.

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS)
Zihlschlacht Clinic offers Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) as an advanced therapy for mild to moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It uses targeted sound waves to activate specific brain regions, promote blood flow, and stimulate cellular recovery processes. Studies show TPS can improve cognitive function (thinking, memory, learning, orientation) and positively affect the disease's course.
The treatment is performed while sitting, using a sound probe to deliver gentle, stimulating ultrasound pulses deep into the brain. It is painless, non-invasive, and well-tolerated, potentially helping stabilize or improve mental performance.
Costs are not currently covered by health insurance (CHF 3,000 for a course of six sessions over two weeks). Patients are responsible for the fee. The Clinic's team is available to provide detailed information and help plan your treatment.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is available as a promising therapy option at Paracelsus Rehab Clinic, particularly for patients experiencing neglect. The treatment uses targeted magnetic pulses delivered from a coil placed externally on the head. These pulses can modulate activity in specific brain areas, which helps to reduce perceptual deficits and improve the processing of sensory input. Scientific studies suggest that rTMS can help alleviate the symptoms of neglect and support the rehabilitation process.
This treatment is non-invasive and painless, and it is carefully tailored to the individual needs of each patient. It serves as a valuable complement to proven therapeutic measures, aiding in achieving the best possible progress during recovery.
The price for the complete treatment course, which consists of two stimulation sessions on two consecutive days, is CHF 1,216.00.
