Early Intensive Neurorehabilitation (VIN)
We believe that people with a long-term disorder of consciousness are entitled to appropriate and adequate care. Early Intensive Neurorehabilitation (VIN) is a treatment program for people with acquired brain injury. It is a program that incorporates both the treatment of medical implications and the rehabilitation treatment.
What exactly is the VIN treatment program?
Early Intensive Neurorehabilitation (VIN) is a treatment program for people with acquired brain injury. At the time of treatment, these people are in a state of reduced consciousness. It is a complete program, in which, in addition to the approach of medical complications, an active rehabilitation treatment of sensory, motor and communicative functions takes place. In addition, there is intensive education and guidance of the relatives. For optimal results, we at VIN work together with a multidisciplinary team consisting of a rehabilitation doctor, physiotherapist, movement therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, psychological employee, psychologist, social worker, nurse, doctor and physician assistant. The treatment program lasts a maximum of 14 weeks.
Who is the VIN treatment program for?
The Early Intensive Neurorehabilitation (VIN) treatment program was developed more than 20 years ago, scientifically tested and recognized (in 2006). Until January 1, 2019, this was only for people under the age of 25. Fortunately, the VIN treatment was recognized in 2019 as insurable care for everyone, so that people over the age of 25 can also use it.

Scientific literature on VIN
The results of the research into the effect of the VIN program in 2006 were sufficient to include VIN in the basic insurance for patients up to the age of 25. Nowadays this is the case for all ages. The 'Measuring in the chain' project is currently underway with two PhD studies into the outcome and impact of the VIN programme.
