Neurorehabilitation Scholarly Journal
Neuro rehabilitation helps people with neurological disorders maximise their quality of life. Neurological rehabilitation (rehab) is a doctor-supervised program designed for people with diseases, injury, or disorders of the nervous system. Neurological rehab can often improve function, reduce symptoms, and improve the well-being of the patient.
Injuries, infections, degenerative diseases, structural defects, tumors, and disorders in the circulatory system can impair the nervous system. Some of the conditions that may benefit from neurological rehab may include:
• Vascular disorders, such as ischemic strokes (caused by blood clots), hemorrhagic strokes (caused by bleeding in the brain), subdural hematoma, and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
• Infections, such as meningitis, encephalitis, polio, and
brain abscesses
• Trauma, such as
brain and
spinal cord injury
• Structural or neuromuscular disorders, such as Bell palsy, cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome,
brain or
spinal cord tumors, peripheral neuropathy, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome
• Functional disorders, such as headache,
seizure disorder, dizziness, and neuralgia
• Degenerative disorders, such as Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),
Alzheimer disease, and Huntington chorea
