WHAT IS NEURO REHABILITATION?

Neurorehabilitation is a complex medical process which aims to aid recovery from a nervous system injury, and to minimize and/or compensate for any functional alterations resulting from it.

In case of a serious disability, such as one caused by a severe spinal injury or brain damage, the patient and his/her families' abilities, life style and projects are suddenly shattered. In order to cope with this situation, the person and his/her family must establish and negotiate a "new way of living", both with their changed body and as a changed individual within a wider community.

Thus, neurorehabilitation works with the skills and attitudes of the disabled person and his/her family and friends.

BENEFITS OF NEURO REHABILITATION

· It promotes patient’ skills to work at the highest level of independence possible for him/her after the damage to brain or spinal cord.

· It also encourages him/her to rebuild self-esteem and a positive mood.

· Thus, he/she can adapt to the new situation and become empowered for successful and community reintegration.
