NEURO REHABILITATION

Neuro Rehabilitation is a healthcare process that aims to restore, minimize, or compensate for functional deficits resulting from central nervous system lesions, offering a range of therapies to improve functional independence and well-being.

Neuro Rehabilitation focuses on helping individuals regain lost functions or develop compensatory strategies to improve their quality of life after a neurological injury or condition.

It addresses a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Neuro Rehabilitation is headed by rehab physician with members of physician, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, Speech therapist, psychologist, rehab nurse, social worker and vocational counselor.

Neuro Rehabilitation utilizes various therapies, including:

• Physical therapy: To improve movement, balance, and coordination.

• Occupational therapy: To help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing, bathing, and eating.

• Speech therapy: To address communication and swallowing difficulties.

• Psychological therapy: To manage stress, anxiety, and depression.

• Medications: To manage underlying neurological conditions.

The core principles include:

• Restoration: Aiming to regain lost functions.

• Compensation: Developing alternative strategies to overcome deficits.

• Prevention: Preventing further complications and promoting independence.

Neuro Rehabilitation is crucial for improving the quality of life and functional independence of individuals with neurological conditions.

For someone with a stroke, Neurorehabilitation might involve physical therapy to regain movement in a paralyzed arm, occupational therapy to learn how to dress independently, and speech therapy to improve communication skills.

Neurological disorders are a group of conditions that impact the functioning of the nervous system, affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerve networks. They can result from structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the nervous system.

Symptoms can range from mild and temporary to severe and requiring immediate medical attention with further comprehensive rehabilitation for independent in ADL activities like grooming, dressing, bathing, toileting, feeding and ambulation.
