Neurological rehabilitation is a treatment approach designed to restore or improve motor, sensory or cognitive functions lost as a result of brain and nervous system diseases or injuries. Neurological rehabilitation is often used in people with neurological diseases such as stroke, brain trauma, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease.
Neurological rehabilitation includes an individual approach delivered by a specialist team. Treatment is tailored to the patient’s individual needs and treatment goals. Rehabilitation programs may focus on improving the patient’s motor functions, improving balance and coordination, improving speech and language skills, and facilitating activities of daily living.
Neurological rehabilitation is carried out by a team of physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, and other healthcare professionals. Treatment may vary according to the needs of the patient, and therapy sessions are performed frequently to monitor the patient’s progress.
