Stroke :
Lack of blood circulation to certain
parts of brain leads to dysfunction of the brain cells. The brain
'forgets' to do its functions that include normal movements.
We take over the 'training' of the
brain. Early the treatment, the better the prognosis. A detailed
assessment and evaluation of the loss in function followed by the
plan of customized treatment has been our specialty. Treatment
plan includes rehabilitation, muscle re-education, cryotherapy,
passive movements, active assisted movements, gait training,
postural correction and balance training.
Paralysis :
It is the total loss of movement in
both legs or arms due to head injury or hemorrhage or spinal cord
lesion.
In these cases, the main aim and
objective is to prevent the deterioration of the subject's
condition. We approach these individuals with therapeutic
modalities along with the alternative medicines. Our treatment
involves maintenance of muscle and joint properties and to make
the individual be independent with prosthesis and orthotic aids.
Cerebral palsy :
Normally this happens due to the lack
of oxygen to the baby during the stay in the uterus. In other terms
it is the inability of the brain to learn timely activities like
rolling, sitting and standing etc.
Management of this condition includes
'teaching' the brain. The exercises taught help the brain cells to
learn the functions. We train the brain to learn activities like
turning, crawling, sitting and walking with and without support.
The rate of prognosis depends on the severity of the damage to the
brain cells. Apart from exercises, recreational therapy is also
followed for these subjects.
Brain and spine
problems :
This includes parkinsonism, age
related brain deterioration, transverse myelitis., etc. The
therapeutic exercises like assisted movements, co-ordination
exercises and gait training and some times galvanic current
therapy or TENS can be applied for the better improvement..
