| Abstract | Hereditary neuropathies are included among neuromuscular diseases (NMD) and the same principles of rehabilitation treatment are valid for them as for all other NMD. NMD are inherited, chronic; degenerative and progressive. The main characteristics of NMD are: muscular weakness, contractures, scoliosis, respiratory insufficiency, cardiac affection, nutrition disturbances, dependence on the help of' others, possible social isolation and physiological problems. Appropriate rehabilitation programs should influence all mentioned charaeteristics. A special unit for rehabilitation of patient.s with NMD within the Institute for rehabilitation of the Republic of Slovenia was established in 1993 at the initiative of the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Slovenia. The main aim of this establishment was to try to guide the patient and his family through the course of the disease. The article described the work of the mentioned unit, different clinical rehabilitation programs are presented. | |
| Summary | Dedne nevropatije uvrščamo med živčno-mišične bolezni (ŽMB) in za njih veljajo enaki principi rehabilitacijske obravnave kot za druge ŽMB. ŽMB so dedne, kronične, degenerativne in progresivne. Glavne značilnosti ŽMB so mišična oslabelost, kontrakture, skolioza, dihalna insuficienca, prizadetost srca, motnje prehranjevanja, odvisnost od tuje pomoči, možna socialna izolacija in psihološke težave. Z ustrezno rehabilitacijo je potrebno vplivati na vse omenjene značilnosti. Posebna služba za rehabilitacijo bolnikov z ŽMB je bila ustanovljena na Inštitutu Republike Slovenije za rehabilitacijo v letu 1993 na pobudo Društva mišično obolelih Slovenije. Glavni namen ustanovitve je bil, da bi bolnike in njihove družine "vodili" skozi bolezen. Članek opisuje delo omenjene službe, opisani so različni klinično rehabilitacijski programi. | |
