Neurological rehabilitation

Neurological rehabilitation aims to obtain an improvement in the quality of life and a restoration of the maximum levels of autonomy possible in patients affected by injuries or diseases of the nervous system, through continuously evolving approaches, stimulating neuro-plasticity and based on an individual rehabilitation.

The specific neurological physiotherapy programs provided by our physiotherapy center concern in particular:

• central nervous system disorders
• movement disorders (eg Parkinson's disease, dystonia, tremors, etc.)
• stroke of an ischemic or hemorrhagic nature
• degenerative diseases (eg. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis / ALS)
• demyelinating diseases (eg. Multiple Sclerosis)
• neuromuscular diseases (eg muscular dystrophies)
• neuropathies (eg. Guillain Barré syndrome)
• neurosurgery operations
• ataxias
• epilepsies

From the very first session, our physiotherapists stage the patient's baseline, objectifying it through validated systems, and set up a rehabilitation program with short-medium-long term objectives like:

• recovery of daily life skills (eg washing, eating independently, dressing, walking, etc.)
• progressive improvement of motor and sensory deficits
• restoring balance and limiting the risk of falling
• development of rehabilitation programs with engaging, playful activities, for resuming the patient's favorite activities
• pain management in a multidisciplinary team
• continuous active stimulus to favor neuro-plasticity
• recovery of motor and cognitive patterns
• containment and / or compensation of the degenerative aspects of neurological pathologies
• planning of active social and work reintegration
• effective involvement of family members / caregivers

In order to achieve these objectives, we use the best technologies within the rehabilitation project, such as the use of the AlterG, which has demonstrated the following benefits:

• increased weight bearing
• develop normal gait pattern
• increase walking speed and stride length
• improve balance
• Improve aerobic capacity exercise
• Strengthen of the lower extremities
• Improvement of motor learning
• Perform dual-task exercises

Where indicated by the doctor and / or necessary, neurological physiotherapy is also provided by our center at patient's home.
