Neurorehabilitation

When working with neurorehabilitation, the process of restoring nervous system function after injury or disease. Also known as neurological rehab, it blends physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech training and more. One key subfield is vestibular rehabilitation, a set of exercises aimed at reducing dizziness and improving balance. Neurorehabilitation encompasses vestibular rehabilitation because balance issues often stem from inner‑ear or brain pathways. By targeting the vestibular system, therapists help patients regain stability, confidence and independence.

Why multidisciplinary care matters

Effective neurorehabilitation requires multidisciplinary care, coordinated input from doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists and nutritionists. This team approach ensures that every aspect of a patient’s health—motor skills, mental well‑being, medication management and lifestyle—gets attention. For example, a stroke survivor benefits when a neurologist adjusts medication while a physiotherapist works on gait and a psychologist addresses post‑stroke anxiety. The semantic link is clear: neurorehabilitation needs multidisciplinary care to address complex, overlapping challenges.

Another important branch is low vision rehabilitation, training and device use that helps people with severe visual loss perform daily tasks. Patients with open‑angle glaucoma often enter low vision rehab to learn adaptive techniques, while still participating in broader neurorehab programs. Low vision rehabilitation supports patients with glaucoma by providing magnifiers, contrast‑enhancing lighting and mobility training, illustrating how visual and neurological recovery can go hand‑in‑hand.

The articles below showcase real‑world applications of neurorehabilitation across conditions—from managing itch‑related skin discomfort that can affect sleep, to comparing diabetes medicines that influence nerve health, to strategies for multiple sclerosis at work. Whether you’re looking for medication guidance, symptom‑relief tips or rehab techniques, this collection gives you actionable information that ties back to core neurorehab principles.
