Neurorehabilitation aids your continuing healing - strengthening strength and cognitive capacities following a neurological damage. The goal is to help you restore mobility and return home safely utilizing a specific blend of medical, nursing and therapy care.
At NeuroBloom PT physical therapist will understand your needs followed by detailed in-person initial assessment, individualized NeuroBloom Care Plan (NCP) with evidence-based practice treatment sessions.
2. Introduction
• Patients with neurological disorders or traumas require professional
physical treatment in this area. Movement and sensation are
controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. Loss of
function can result from the death of regulatory cells in the brain and
spinal cord. Patients who suffer a brain injury may be left unable to
complete previously performed tasks. Diabetes, heart disease, lung
disease, less independence, and a lower quality of life are all linked to
a lack of physical activity.
3. What are the advantages of Neurorehabilitation?
• Post-diagnosis physical therapy is essential for people with neurological disorders or accidents.
Movement and sensation are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and nerve system, which can be
damaged, resulting in loss of function, debilitating symptoms, and a poor quality of life.
• A doctor of physical therapy (DPT) oversees a neurorehabilitation program for patients with
diseases, injuries, or abnormalities of the neurological system that cause pain, weakness, range of
motion, balance, or coordination, as well as frequent falls, a deterioration in gait, vertigo, and
other disorientation.
• Using a variety of treatment techniques and specific exercise forms, neurorehabilitation is a
medically supervised rehab programme designed by a doctor of physical therapy who focuses in
neurological conditions to help reduce debilitating symptoms, improve and restore function
following neurological disorders, and elevate quality of life and overall well-being.
• Each patient's neurorehabilitation program is custom-made to match his or her specific
requirements. You and your family's involvement is critical to the program's success.
4. What conditions can benefit from
Neurorehabilitation?
• Ischemic strokes (caused by blood clots), hemorrhagic strokes (caused by
bleeding in the brain), subdural hematoma, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
are some of the vascular disorders.
• Infections, such as encephalitis, meningitis, polio, and brain abscesses
• Structural or neuromuscular disorders, such as Bell’s palsy, Cervical Spondylosis,
Brain or Spinal Cord tumors, Peripheral Neuropathy, Muscular Dystrophy,
Myasthenia Gravis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome (an autoimmune disease
attacking the nerves)
• Trauma, such as brain and spinal cord injury (damage to part of the central
nervous system resulting in loss of movement and control)
5. What conditions can benefit from
Neurorehabilitation? (Contd..)
• Central Vestibular (inner ear) dysfunction such as headache,
dizziness, room spinning vertigo, double vision, disequilibrium and
such following any of these neurological diagnoses.
• Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)- problem with the
functioning of the nervous system
• Parkinson disease (a progressive nervous system disorder), Multiple
Sclerosis (a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord),
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s
disease), Alzheimer disease, and Huntington chorea are examples of
Degenerative disorders
• Other central and peripheral nervous system disorders
