Are you or a loved one experiencing discomfort, stiffness, neurological issues, or a deformity? Neuro rehabilitation offers effective solutions for these challenges.

Our neuro rehabilitation programs are tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals. We use a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other techniques to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes. Our team works closely with patients and their families to provide education and support throughout rehabilitation.

Neurological Rehabilitation: Conditions We Treat

Stroke

Many patients with stroke experience life-changing issues even after they are past the dangerous phase. Caring for such patients does not end with their stay at the ICU. Neuro rehabilitation is crucial for their recovery. A multidisciplinary team of experts, which includes doctors, therapists, and nurses, help patients regain their strength, mobility, and independence.

The type of therapy, its duration and intensity are planned according to each patient's unique needs. As coordination and motor skills may be impaired, neuro physiotherapy helps stroke patients perform daily activities. We provide both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, which form an integral part of the patient’s complete support system.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

People who have suffered a traumatic brain injury may need multiple types of interventions. This is because their injuries can have physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural consequences. Neuro rehabilitation plays a key role in the recovery of patients, especially those with moderate to severe TBI.

Our neurorehabilitation centre has interdisciplinary specialists providing comprehensive, intensive, personalised care. Neurological physiotherapy combines assessment, treatment and management to support patients and their caregivers achieve the best possible outcomes in the physical, cognitive, psychological and social aspects of recovery. Neuro rehabilitation can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life after being discharged from the ICU.

Rehab has proved to help prevent complications after TBI, such as:

Pain
Bedsores
Breathing problems
Blood pressure
Muscle spasms
Bowel and bladder problems

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

SCI is a life-disrupting condition. Damage to the spinal cord, whether due to an accident or degenerative diseases such as tuberculosis, can result in impairments of sensation, movement, and body functions. The patient may experience loss of bladder and bowel control, inability to feel (hot, cold, and touch), exaggerated reflexes and intense stinging pain. The location of the damage determines the effectiveness and duration of recovery with neuro rehabilitation. Injuries that are lower in the spinal cord typically present better chances of recovery than those that occur higher in the spinal cord.

While neuro rehabilitation cannot reverse permanent spinal cord damage, it can improve quality of life by focusing on:

Preventing complications: Our team works with patients and their families to prevent possible complications, such as e DVT and pressure sores.
Managing symptoms: Our team focuses on managing conditions such as loss of bladder control, bowel issues, respiratory problems and loss of sensory function in certain body parts to ease daily living.
Holistic approach: A comprehensive plan that includes neurological therapy and physiotherapy helps patients gradually regain lost movement.
Emotional and social rehab: Neuro rehabilitation helps patients address their emotional and social challenges.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

MS is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system, disrupting the flow of information to the brain when the body is communicating with it. Rehabilitation can help manage symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients with MS. At our neurorehabilitation centre, specialised doctors and trained nurses employ various therapeutic interventions and modern equipment to give patients greater independence to carry out their daily activities.

Neuro rehabilitation can have long-term benefits for patients with MS, such as:

Physical improvements: enhanced mobility, increased strength and endurance, better balance and coordination and reduced muscle stiffness
Emotional benefits: Increased self-esteem, higher confidence, lower stress and sense of accomplishment by achieving personal goals and milestones
Improved cognitive function
Quality of life enhancement
Greater independence
Increased social engagement

Parkinson's Disease

This is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement, causing stiffness and difficulty in coordination and balance. In some cases, Parkinson’s disease may also cause tremors. Physiotherapy for neurological conditions involves targeted interventions that aim for better balance, posture and gait. Exercise programs and therapy help manage symptoms and improve movement for patients with Parkinson's disease. Strength and balance training reduces the risk of falling and helps patients perform daily activities more easily.

A combination of occupational, physical and speech therapies help patients of Parkinson’s disease to:

Maintain independence with improvements in the levels of function and mobility.
Improve posture and balance and reduce abnormal movement patterns.
Maximise muscle strength and joint flexibility.
Maintain good breathing patterns.

Neuromuscular Disorders

This disease group encompasses various disorders affecting the muscles and nerves that help control functions. With extensive testing, complex evaluation and personalised care, our multidisciplinary neurorehabilitation centre improves the quality of life for patients with various neuromuscular disorders.

Services We Offer

Each condition is different, and every patient’s experience is unique. The neurological rehabilitation team provides comprehensive care with personalised plans that are created after considering several factors. Our holistic approach to neuro rehabilitation includes the following:

Physical Therapy

Evaluating the physical performance of patients with specialised tests is the first step. Our physical therapists provide a personalised exercise and rehabilitation plan to improve strength, balance, and mobility. Neurological physiotherapy may include resistance training, balance exercises and exercises to improve gait. Neuro physiotherapy benefits stroke patients and those with MS or other conditions that cause motor impairment.

Occupational Therapy

This is a vital component of neurological rehabilitation that evaluates the patient’s fine motor skills and focuses on activities like eating, dressing and managing household tasks to improve daily living skills and independence. Assistive devices may also be recommended to help patients perform these tasks with ease and safety. We integrate such interventions with neurological therapy to provide a holistic recovery plan for our patients.

Speech Therapy

Our highly trained speech pathologists help patients communicate with confidence. Speech therapy includes exercises for both speech and swallowing. Patients typically face speech impairment due to difficulty regulating their breathing while speaking. Speech therapy helps patients understand when to take a breath when speaking and know what words to say and how to say them.

Speech pathologists also evaluate the difficulties in swallowing and work with the patient to teach them how to position the body, put food in the mouth and be able to swallow. The therapy may include exercises for swallowing muscles (physiotherapist).

Cognitive Rehabilitation

Certain conditions, like stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injuries, and even cancer may result in the patient forgetting previously learnt skills. Our cognitive neuro rehabilitation specialists follow a variety of approaches that aim to restore cognitive functions, like attention, memory, processing speed, problem-solving, and multitasking.

Recreational Therapy

This focuses on improving the patient’s social skills. This may include music therapy, art and craft workshops, sports meets and social outings. These neuro rehabilitation activities also help patients build confidence and lower their stress levels.

Our multidisciplinary team of neurological therapy experts aim to help you and your loved one have a better life. The neurorehabilitation centre at Narayana Health brings you state-of-the-art facilities, patient-centric care and a commitment to excellence. We are with you every step of the way in the journey towards recovery and better quality of life.
