What happens during rehabilitation? What's the schedule? What procedures and objectives are there? Who decides on the rehabilitation clinic?

Dr. Stefan Middeldorf, senior consultant and head of the orthopaedic clinic at Staffelstein Medical Centre has supported Stolperstein with numerous answers to these questions.
