Neurological rehabilitation
Stroke, nerve injuries, balance
Neurological rehabilitation is a physiotherapy process aimed at improving movement, balance, walking and independence in daily life when the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nervous system is affected.
The period after a stroke, some peripheral nerve injuries, walking and balance disorders, and movement problems related to neurological conditions can be assessed within this scope. The programme is planned according to the underlying condition and how much the person is affected.
The assessment looks at strength, movement control, balance, walking, coordination and activities of daily living. Goals are set as concretely as possible: for example, standing up unaided, walking a certain distance more safely, or using the affected hand more in everyday tasks.
Repetition, task-oriented practice and regular training are important in neurological rehabilitation. To make use of the nervous system's capacity to adapt and learn, the difficulty of the exercises is gradually adjusted to the person's performance.
A home programme and the right support from family members are important parts of the process. When needed, the family is given training on safe transfers, walking support and exercises to do at home.
