Why the need for Neurological Rehabilitation?
When an incident causes a problem within the nervous system (this is made up of the spinal cord, brain, and nerves), this could lead to problems with mobility. Such neurological diseases would include events such as a stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, and so on.
Neurological conditions can have a devastating impact on the lives of the sufferers, along with family and friends. Disturbances in the neurological path of messages between the brain and the body can result in the loss of movement, sensation, coordination, and balance. Other aspects of bodily function, such as perception, speech, memory, cognition, and behaviour may also be affected.
