Restorative neurology
Restorative Neurology is a branch of neurology that aims to restore function to the nervous system after it has been damaged by neurological disease or injury. This field of medicine uses a variety of techniques, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and neurorehabilitation.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Restorative Neurology is a rapidly evolving field that aims to restore function to the nervous system after it has been damaged by neurological disease or injury. This can include conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. The goal of restorative neurology is to help patients regain as much function as possible, improving their quality of life and independence.
Techniques[edit | edit source]
Restorative Neurology uses a variety of techniques to help restore function. These can include:
- Physical therapy: This can help improve strength, balance, and coordination.
- Occupational therapy: This can help improve the ability to perform daily activities such as dressing, cooking, and bathing.
- Speech therapy: This can help improve communication and swallowing abilities.
- Neurorehabilitation: This is a complex process that aims to aid recovery from a nervous system injury, and to minimize and/or compensate for any functional alterations resulting from it.
Future Directions[edit | edit source]
The field of Restorative Neurology continues to evolve, with ongoing research into new treatments and therapies. This includes the development of neuroprosthetics, devices that can substitute a motor, sensory or cognitive modality that might have been damaged as a result of an injury or a disease.
