Neurological physiotherapy is a specialized form of rehabilitation that involves the assessment and treatment of physical challenges arising from an individual’s neurological condition. Neurological conditions typically involve issues with the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. Individuals affected by neurological conditions may experience difficulties in various physical functions, including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement, and balance.
The effects of neurological conditions can vary depending on the specific medical condition. Symptoms may include motor deficits, paralysis, tremors, spasms, ataxia, or a lack of sensation. Additionally, challenges in speech, swallowing, writing, and other functions may arise. Damage to the central nervous system can disrupt the afferent and efferent pathways responsible for transmitting nerve signals to and from muscles and organs, leading to the manifestation of neurological symptoms.
