Assessment and Diagnosis: Conduct detailed neurological and functional assessments. Identify impairments in mobility, posture, muscle tone, balance, and coordination. Treatment Planning: Develop individualized rehabilitation plans tailored to neurological conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, etc. Set realistic short- and long-term functional goals. Therapeutic Interventions: Implement neurophysiological techniques such as Bobath, PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), Rood's approach, and motor relearning programs. Use gait training, balance exercises, functional electrical stimulation (FES), and task-specific training. Use of Assistive Technology: Recommend and train patients in using mobility aids (e.g., walkers, orthoses, wheelchairs). Integrate advanced rehab technologies (robotics, virtual reality, neurostimulation) when available. Patient and Family Education: Educate patients and caregivers about exercises, home-based care, and fall prevention. Provide counseling and motivational support for coping with disabilities. Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with neurologists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, and social workers as part of a rehabilitation team. Documentation and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of patient progress, reassessments, and therapy outcomes. Prepare reports for referrals, insurance, or medico-legal purposes. Health Promotion and Advocacy: Conduct awareness sessions on stroke prevention, early rehab, and neuroplasticity. Advocate for inclusion, accessibility, and long-term rehab support for neuro patients.
