The main aims of Advanced Neuro Rehablitation are to:

• Exercises to improve mobility, balance and gait.
• Pain management.
• Training to improve memory and cognition.
• Speech therapy.
• Mental health counseling and emotional support
• Management and reduction of pain (chronic, post-traumatic, and post-surgical acute)
• Nutritional and vocational counseling
• improving or preventing injuries
• developing gait strategies to increase stability and speed of walking
• developing strategies that can help people to adapt to different walking surfaces and different activities

What is Neurological physical therapy?

The Neurological Rehab team works with primary care and other specialty physicians to manage neurological conditions. As a result, patients receive outstanding coordinated care for any kind of neurological disorder. What is Neurological physical therapy? Neurological physiotherapy (Neuro Rehab)is a discipline focused on working with individuals who have a neurological disorder or disease. These include Alzheimer's disease, ALS, brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, and stroke. Common problems of patients with neurological disorders include paralysis, vision impairment, poor balance, inability to ambulate, and loss of functional independence. Therapists work with patients to improve these areas of dysfunction.
A neurologic physical therapist specializes in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with movement or functional problems due to disease or injury of the nervous system. Physical therapists who specialize in neurology work with a broad range of conditions in both adults and children that include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Brain injury that results from trauma or conditions such as stroke or tumors
• Multiple sclerosis
• Parkinson's disease
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Polyneuropathies such a Guillian-Barre syndrome or chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy
• Vestibular disorders such as BPPV, acoustic neuroma, or other conditions that cause dizziness and loss of balance
• Pediatric conditions such as spina bifida or cerebral palsy
• Balance Deficits
• Coordination

What conditions can benefit from neurological rehab?

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-Barré 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

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been investigated over the years due to its short and also long-term effects on cortical excitability and neuroplasticity. Although its mechanisms to improve motor function are not fully understood, this technique has been suggested as an alternative therapeutic method for motor rehabilitation, especially those with motor function deficits. When applied to the primary motor cortex, tDCS has shown to improve motor function in healthy individuals, as well as in patients with neurological disorders. Based on its potential effects on motor recovery, identifying optimal targets for tDCS stimulation is essential to improve knowledge regarding neuromodulation as well as to advance the use of tDCS in clinical motor rehabilitation.
