Introduction
Conditions We Address
Our expertise covers a range of neurodegenerative conditions, including:
1. Parkinson’s Disease : Characterized by tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability.
2. Parkinson-plus Syndromes : A group of disorders that include additional symptoms not typically seen in Parkinson’s disease, such as multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy.
3. Alzheimer’s / Dementia : Involves progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and difficulty with daily activities.
4. Multiple System Atrophy : A rare condition that affects multiple systems in the body, leading to impairments in movement, balance, and autonomic functions.
5. Hereditary and Non-hereditary Ataxias : Disorders that cause a loss of coordination and balance due to damage to the cerebellum.
Common Symptoms and Rehabilitation Focus
Individuals affected by these neurodegenerative conditions often experience a range of symptoms. Our rehabilitation programs focus on addressing these specific symptoms to improve the quality of life for our patients:
1. Impaired Walking and Balance
- Symptoms : Frequent falls and fractures.
- Rehabilitation Focus : Our fall prevention program includes balance training, strength exercises, and environmental modifications to reduce fall risk.
2. Memory Impairment
- Symptoms : Difficulty remembering recent events, names, and tasks.
- Rehabilitation Focus : Cognitive retraining exercises aim to enhance memory functions and improve daily living skills.
3. Swallow Impairment
- Symptoms : Difficulty swallowing, leading to silent aspiration of food and liquids.
- Rehabilitation Focus : Speech and language therapists provide swallow therapy and dietary modifications to ensure safe swallowing and nutrition.
4. Abnormal Coordination of Movements
- Symptoms : Poor coordination of the arms and legs.
- Rehabilitation Focus : Coordination exercises and occupational therapy help improve motor skills and facilitate smoother movement patterns.
5. Difficulty Initiating Movements
- Symptoms : Slow performance in tasks, hesitation in starting movements.
- Rehabilitation Focus : Techniques such as cueing, task segmentation, and practice of daily activities help patients initiate and perform movements more effectively.
6. Muscle Weakness
- Symptoms : Weakness in the muscles of the arms and legs.
- Rehabilitation Focus : Strength training and flexibility exercises target muscle groups to improve strength and endurance.
