Neurological Conditions

Neurological conditions can profoundly impact an individual's movement, balance, coordination, strength, and overall independence, affecting every aspect of daily life. At Precision Rehab, Occupational, Physical & Hand Therapy, P.L.L.C., we specialize in comprehensive neurological rehabilitation. Our compassionate and highly skilled physical and occupational therapists are dedicated to helping individuals living with neurological disorders maximize their physical abilities, manage symptoms, and improve their quality of life.

Understanding Neurological Conditions and Their Impact

Neurological conditions affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, often leading to challenges with motor control, sensation, balance, and cognitive function. These challenges can manifest as:

• Weakness or paralysis
• Spasticity or muscle stiffness
• Balance problems and increased fall risk
• Difficulty with walking (gait abnormalities)
• Coordination issues and tremors
• Fatigue
• Sensory changes (numbness, tingling)
• Challenges with fine motor skills
• Speech and swallowing difficulties (often addressed in conjunction with speech therapy)

We provide specialized rehabilitation for a range of neurological conditions, including:

• Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident - CVA)
• Parkinson's Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Cerebral Palsy (CP)
• Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
• Peripheral Neuropathy
• Balance Disorders of Neurological Origin

Our Comprehensive Approach to Neurological Rehabilitation

At Precision Rehab, Occupational, Physical & Hand Therapy, P.L.L.C., our neurological rehabilitation programs are highly individualized, evidence-based, and patient-centered. We conduct a thorough initial evaluation to understand your specific deficits, challenges, and personal goals. Our therapists then develop a customized treatment plan designed to promote neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to reorganize itself), restore function, and adapt to any persistent impairments.

Key Components of Our Neurological Rehabilitation Programs:

• Gait and Balance Training:
  • Improving walking patterns, endurance, and safety.
  • Addressing balance deficits through targeted exercises on various surfaces and conditions.
  • Utilizing assistive devices (walkers, canes) as needed, with training on proper use.
  • Fall prevention strategies and education.
• Strength and Motor Control Training:
  • Targeted exercises to improve muscle strength, endurance, and control.
  • Techniques to reduce spasticity and improve range of motion.
  • Functional electrical stimulation (FES) to assist muscle activation.
• Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) & Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF):
  • Hands-on techniques to facilitate normal movement patterns and inhibit abnormal ones.
  • Improving coordination, posture, and motor control.
• Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training (Occupational Therapy):
  • Practicing self-care tasks such as dressing, bathing, and feeding.
  • Training for instrumental ADLs like cooking, cleaning, and managing medications.
  • Adaptive equipment recommendations and training.
• Cognitive and Perceptual Retraining:
  • Exercises to improve attention, memory, problem-solving, and visual-perceptual skills as they relate to functional tasks.
• Fatigue Management Strategies:
  • Education on energy conservation techniques and activity pacing to help manage chronic fatigue common in neurological conditions.
• Patient and Family Education:
  • Providing comprehensive education to patients and caregivers on managing symptoms, preventing complications, and adapting the home environment for safety and independence.
• Advanced Modalities:
  • Therapeutic modalities like electrical stimulation or laser therapy may be used to address pain, spasticity, or promote tissue healing where appropriate.
