Neurorehabilitation

Neuro-disabilities are the leading causes of acquired disabilities worldwide and are increasing in frequency affecting more and more people in our societies. Neuro-disabilities frequently pose severe limitation in everyday life and a considerable burden to those affected and their carers. Deficits may affect various body functions such as consciousness, perception, cognition, emotion, language, swallowing, breathing, head, trunk and limb movements, motor control and co-ordination, somatosensory deficits, sexual, bladder and bowel control deficits. All these deficits can limit the capacity to cope with everyday life activities, consequently reduce a person’s autonomy, and restrict social activities in family, at school or work, with societal and leisure activities, and hence quality of life.
