Neurological Rehabilitation
In cases of nervous system disorders, rehabilitation aims to maximize daily activities, attain the highest level of social involvement, and restore as much of the nervous system's function as feasible. This kind of rehabilitation is based on the idea of "neuroplasticity" in contemporary rehabilitation techniques. In physiology, plasticity refers to a change brought on by information in the central nervous system (stimuli). The brain is not "hardwired," but rather adapts to events and impressions throughout life; new connections between neurons are constantly established, which is how we learn. Even many years after, say, a stroke, the primary goal of rehabilitation is this learning or relearning. At the start of neurological illnesses (such as multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease), or following a stroke, rehabilitation aims to best restore health. Recovery of the patient's independence is the main objective. Each patient receives a customized treatment plan from the rehabilitation team. Personal objectives are defined during an initial assessment. Typically, a rehabilitation stay lasts four weeks. The patient will undergo therapy for at least two to three hours each day during this time. A multidisciplinary team is required for neurological rehabilitation. This group includes computer scientists and bioengineers in addition to doctors and social workers. The team's effort must take into account the alterations brought on by the progression of the disease. For neurological rehabilitation, a multidisciplinary team is necessary. Besides physicians and social workers, this group also consists of computer scientists and bioengineers. The team's work must account for the changes brought on by the disease's development.
