Neurological Physiotherapy for Balance Impairment Due to Age-Related Decline
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Balance Impairment Due to Age-Related Decline Overview of Conditions Age-related balance impairment is a common condition affecting older adults, increasing the risk of falls and reducing functional independence. As people age, several factors contribute to balance problems, including muscle weakness, sensory decline (e.g., vision and vestibular), reduced proprioception, and cognitive […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Balance Impairment Post-Stroke
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Balance Impairment Post-Stroke Overview of Conditions Balance impairment is a prevalent and disabling consequence of stroke, arising from damage to brain areas critical for motor control, sensory processing, and postural stability. Stroke survivors commonly exhibit challenges in maintaining balance, which leads to gait disturbances, heightened fall risk, and diminished functional […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Meniere’s Disease
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Meniere’s Disease Overview of Conditions Meniere’s disease is a chronic vestibular and auditory disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a sensation of fullness or pressure in the ear. The exact cause is still unclear but is believed to result from abnormal fluid accumulation (endolymphatic hydrops) […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Post-Traumatic Vestibular Disorder (PTVD)
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Post-Traumatic Vestibular Disorder (PTVD) Overview of Conditions Post-traumatic vestibular disorder (PTVD) refers to a collection of symptoms, including dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and nausea, that persist following a head injury or concussion. The injury can affect the vestibular system, which includes structures like the semicircular canals, otolith organs, and the vestibular […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Overview of Conditions Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder caused by the displacement of otoliths (calcium carbonate crystals) from the utricle into the semicircular canals, primarily the posterior canal. This displacement leads to abnormal stimulation of the semicircular canals, triggering dizziness, […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Cerebellar Ataxia
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Cerebellar Ataxia Overview of Conditions Cerebellar ataxia is a disorder characterized by impaired coordination and balance due to dysfunction or damage in the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for motor control. It may result from various causes, including idiopathic, genetic factors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, alcohol abuse, and other […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Overview of Conditions Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain. This leads to a reduction in dopamine production, impairing movement control. PD is characterized by motor symptoms including tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Haemorrhagic Stroke
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Haemorrhagic Stroke Survivor Overview of Conditions Haemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding into the surrounding tissue. This bleeding may lead to increased intracranial pressure and significant brain tissue damage. Intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most common form of haemorrhagic stroke, and the bleeding […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Internal Capsule Infarct
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Internal Capsule Infarct Stroke Survivor Overview of Conditions An internal capsule infarct refers to an ischemic stroke that affects the internal capsule, a deep brain structure that serves as the major pathway for sensory and motor signals between the cortex and spinal cord. The internal capsule carries both the motor […]
Neurological Physiotherapy for Thalamic Bleed Stroke
Neurological Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Thalamic Bleed Stroke Survivor Overview of Conditions A thalamic bleed refers to a hemorrhage within the thalamus, a vital brain structure responsible for relaying sensory and motor signals between the cortex and spinal cord. Damage to the thalamus can result in a range of sensorimotor deficits, influencing pain perception, movement […]
