Do you know "basic-stimulation"?

Published

I just saw the threat "Do you talk to brain-dead ...".

I didn´t read all comments (there are too much), but I wanted to know, if you know (and use) a nursing-concept called "basic-stimulation in nursing care" ?

I know this concept as a really helpful method for patients with restricted or impaired perception, movement or communication.

I know some colleagues, which don´t talk even to stroke-patients, or ventilatet patients, because they don´t answer, or they(patients) wheren´t able to communicate.

The use of basic-stimulation makes many patients outcome better.

I am excited to read, if you know this !

Yes, what you describe sounds like altered proprioception. So is basic stimulation a way to help patients regain normal proprioception?
