Neurological physiotherapy will try to limit the impact of a brain injury, helping the patient to retain maximum autonomy, maintain independence and preserve quality of life for as long as possible. Rehabilitation should continue as long as the patient shows measurable benefits from treatment and has achieved the agreed goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Neurological physiotherapy for adults<\/p><\/h1><\/span> Adult neurological physiotherapy involves the re-education<\/strong> and rehabilitation<\/strong> of patients with acute or chronic neurological conditions such as :<\/p>\n Damage to your nervous system can result in loss of strength, sensitivity, coordination, balance, hypertonicity, hypo-tonicity and tremors, all of which we can treat and relieve. The predominant rehabilitation objectives are to prevent vicious attitudes and develop<\/strong> the patient’s motor skills<\/strong>. The methods used are essentially passive and active mobilizations<\/strong>, postures, stretching and proprioceptive techniques. These methods must be adapted to the neurological lesions, deficits and aptitude of the patient, while taking into account his\/her fatigability, with the aim of maintaining or recovering optimal functionality in his\/her personal, professional and social life, and best meeting the patient’s objectives.<\/p>\n Although damaged brain cells no longer function, the remaining cells can form new links with each other. Other brain cells and neural circuits can also replace and compensate for them. Neurological physiotherapy aims to guide this process, known as neuroplasticity.<\/p>\n<\/div> Neuropediatric physical therapy<\/p><\/h1><\/span> The aim of neuropediatric physiotherapy is to enable brain-injured or motor-disabled <\/strong>children to develop their functional motor skills to the full, making the most of their cerebro-motor potential. The therapist will therefore try to help these children progress in their functional skills “through specific training in which automatic motor activities will be relayed by voluntary control to modify the regulation of abnormal postures and the execution of gestures”. In concrete terms, the aim is to make the most of innate automatic motor potential and modify pathological motor organization by establishing new voluntary motor strategies<\/strong> that will :<\/p>\n Different methods are used depending on the indications. Depending on the case, physiotherapists work with children with very different difficulties. There are different types of care:<\/p>\n\n
