Principles of neurological rehabilitation

-

Neurology has an undeserved reputation for being a specialty where diagnosis requires great intellectual effort, although from which little therapeutic intervention flows. Rehabilitation is mainly the science which restores something that is damaged from its former condition. It is of different types, such as Occupational rehabilitation, Drug Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy, Physical medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatric rehabilitation, neuropsychology and many more. Rehabilitation is mostly done for the people suffered with different neural disorders, which help them to move on with their life normally. Neurological rehabilitation can offer all patients great help. It can be defined as a process that aims to optimize a person’s participation in society and sense of well-being. This definition highlights several important features: rehabilitation is not a particular type of intervention; the focus is on the patient as a person; the goals relate to social functioning, as well as health or well-being; it is not a process restricted to patients who may recover, partially or completely, but applies to all patients left with long-term problems. The contrast to traditional neurology is in the broader scope, extending well away from the underlying pathology but always being fully informed by the paramount importance of the primary diagnosis.

Neurological rehabilitation has a sound theoretical and conceptual basis derived from the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, the WHO ICF (Wade and Halligan 2004) and from a general problem-solving approach (Wade 2005). There is strong evidence supporting its effectiveness as a process and reasonable evidence in support of some specific treatments. The approach of neurological rehabilitation extends the cerebral challenge of neurology, in most clinical situations the physician and the wider rehabilitation team has to make practical decisions based on incomplete information concerning many important factors.

          Disablement includes the relationship between disease, disability, handicap and impairment. Functional disabilities are aimed in neurorehabilitation.It encompasses physical, medical, social, educational, and vocational interventions provided in institutional or community settings. Ongoing and thorough patient assessment is crucial in every part of the neurorehabilitation process. Rehabilitation goals and the management plan constantly evaluate and modified when necessary to maximize patient potential.
          Patients having disabilities due to a chronic, acute, or progressive neurologic condition may benefit from neurorehabilitation.

BASIC APPROACHES IN NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION

Rehabilitation is a dynamic and active process through which a disabled person is helped to obtain knowledge and skills in order to maximize their physical, social, functioning and psychological. This process can be conveniently broken down into three key areas:
•Approaches designed to acquire new skills and strategies, which will maximize activity.
•Approaches that reduce disability.
•Approaches that help to change the environment, both physical and social, so that a given disability carries with it minimal consequent handicap.

Neurological rehabilitation is not complicated. It is the practical and common sense application of basic principles applied within the structure of a detailed knowledge and understanding of the natural history of a given condition and associated symptoms.

AVA Neuro Rehabilitation Center offers comprehensive patient-centered neuro-rehabilitation care for persons who suffered stroke, brain and spinal injuries.

Guillain barre syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a disease affected the nervous system. It is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. This means it cause body's immune system to attack its own tissues. This disease starts when the immune system attacks and damages something called myelin . That’s a layer of insulation that surrounds nerves. It also helps nerves transmit their messages. Usually, weakness begins in both legs and moves up the body. GBS damages the peripheral nervous system . That’s the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. They help the central nervous system communicate with the rest of your body, including the skin, heart, and muscles. GBS often starts a few days or weeks after an infection like the cold or flu. People with this syndrome are hospitalized immediately because symptoms can worsen rapidly. Immune globulin given intravenously or plasma exchange speeds recovery. Signs and symptoms Guillain-Barre syndrome often begins with tingling a...

What is Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury?

-
Image
Any damage to the spinal cord that has not been caused by a major trauma may led to Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury . It occurs when spinal cord has been damaged in other ways such as infection, loss of blood supply, compression by a cancer or through slow degeneration of the spinal bones (vertebrae) such as in osteoarthritis. The spinal cord acts as a connector between the brain and the body; the brain sends signals out through nerves that run down the spinal cord, and from there other nerves go out into the body. These control things like movement of muscles, but also other functions such as sweating, urination and defecation. The body also sends signals up through the spinal cord to the brain via other nerves giving information about touch, temperature, position and pain. The brain can no longer send or receive information to or from the parts of the body if spinal cord gets injured. In a nontraumatic spinal injury, something has happened that has stopped the connection b...

Physical Therapy in Stroke In Rehabilitation

Having a stroke breaks vital connections between your brain and your muscles, which is why it is the leading cause of long-term disability and almost always results in some loss of mobility and movement. However, this loss isn’t necessarily permanent. In fact, rehabilitation is especially crucial during the early stages of recovery, when patients have little to no control over their affected muscles. No matter where you are in your journey toward recovery, your long-term progress will depend on a consistent physical therapy regimen. What is a Stroke? A Stroke is defined as an acute neurological deficit lasting more than 24hrs and is caused by a cerebrovascular aetiology.  The translation?  Neurological symptoms that last for more than 24hrs that can be attributed to changes in the blood supply to the brain. Just like your muscles, brain tissue relies on a constant blood supply to deliver enough oxygen.  In fact, did you know that the brain uses more than 20% o...
