Rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury — motor, cognitive and communicative, matched to what you can manage right now.
💥 Traumatic brain injury is one of the most common causes of lasting disability in people under 45 in Austria.
WHAT IS A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY?
Understand what is happening
Explained medically
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by an external force — an accident, a fall or a sports injury. Depending on the severity (mild, moderate or severe) the neurological consequences differ. The brain has remarkable neuroplasticity — with focused rehabilitation after brain injury, improvement is possible.
Experienced in everyday life
An accident — and suddenly much is different. Memory problems after a brain injury, tiredness that cuts every effort short, difficulty concentrating after a head injury. Movements that used to be automatic now take the greatest effort.
Working together with your consultant
Functional rehabilitation after brain injury — your specialists alongside medical care
Diagnosis and acute medical care after a traumatic brain injury lie with neurologists and neurosurgeons. As specialists in rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury we begin where functional recovery comes to the fore. We build our therapy on the medical findings and discharge reports and adapt it to how your rehabilitation progresses. The focus is on motor deficits, balance, concentration and cognitive performance, and — depending on the findings — language and swallowing.

How does it feel?
What people with this condition experience
The consequences of a traumatic brain injury are as individual as the injury itself — from invisible cognitive problems to physical limitations.
Medical
Cognitive fatigue
In everyday life
After a short effort the energy is used up. A conversation is more exhausting than a session of sport used to be. The mind simply shuts down.
Medical
Memory and concentration difficulties
In everyday life
The names of people you know will not come. The thread of a conversation breaks. New information slips away again at once.
Medical
Movement limitations / hemiparesis
In everyday life
Movements are uncoordinated. One side is weaker. Fine motor tasks such as doing up buttons or writing become a challenge.
Medical
Communication difficulties
In everyday life
Speaking takes more effort than it used to. Words come hesitantly. Sometimes your own voice sounds unfamiliar.
Medical
Balance problems / dizziness
In everyday life
Balance goes haywire. Walking on uneven ground is risky. Dizziness comes without warning.

Frequently asked questions
Traumatic brain injury: common questions about rehabilitation
Answers to the most common questions about your condition and therapy — explained clearly and gathered in one place. So you can read at your own pace and come to your appointment well prepared and at ease.
What is a traumatic brain injury and how does it happen?▾
A traumatic brain injury is caused by an external force to the head — in road accidents, falls or sports injuries. The brain can be damaged directly, which may lead to a wide range of neurological problems, from mild difficulty concentrating to severe paralysis.
Which therapies are there after a traumatic brain injury?▾
Depending on severity, rehabilitation includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, neuropsychology and psychotherapy. At HOME4MOTION in Graz and Vienna, specialist therapists work across disciplines to restore movement, language and cognitive function.
How long does rehabilitation take after a traumatic brain injury?▾
The length varies a great deal with the severity of the injury. Mild injuries often recover within weeks; severe ones call for rehabilitation over months or years. What matters is continuous specialist support — as HOME4MOTION provides on an outpatient basis in Graz and Vienna.
Can cognitive limitations after a brain injury go away completely?▾
In many people, cognitive abilities such as memory, attention and concentration improve considerably with focused neuropsychological therapy. The brain has a remarkable capacity to adapt — known as neural plasticity. Starting therapy early is decisive.
What long-term consequences can a traumatic brain injury have?▾
Possible long-term consequences are memory problems, fatigue, changes in personality, language difficulties, restricted movement and emotional instability. With consistent neurological rehabilitation many of these can be markedly improved over time.
How is the return to everyday life supported after a brain injury?▾
Our team at HOME4MOTION trains everyday skills specifically — from dressing unaided through cooking to communication at work. The aim is the greatest possible independence and participation in life, for people in Graz and Vienna.
Is outpatient rehabilitation after a brain injury possible in Austria?▾
Yes. HOME4MOTION offers outpatient neurological rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury in Graz and Vienna. Treatment is provided on a doctor’s prescription and can be billed through social insurance. We support you from early rehabilitation through to long-term follow-up.
