This diploma thesis deals with the topic of nutritional support in patients with neurological diseases (stroke, craniocerebral trauma, critical-illness-polyneuropathy. The aim of this thesis is to find out, how implemented unified system of nutritional support affects the well-being of patients at neuro-rehabilitation clinic Asklepios Schlossberg Klinikum in Bad König.

This can be caused by eating a uniform diet that contains good quality protein in patients, which suffered from hypoalbunemia at the outset of observation, also by reducing the effect of stress reactions with gradual improvement of the state and...
