Neurological Rehabilitation at Neuroclinique de Casablanca

Neurological rehabilitation (rehab) is a treatment that is designed to help improve function, reduce symptoms, and increase the wellbeing of a person with trauma, disorders, or diseases of the nervous system. The goal of neurological rehabilitation is to help you return to the highest level of independence, as well as improving your overall quality of life.

Anyone with a neurological condition may be recommended to undergo neurological rehabilitation by their doctors. Symptoms that may prompt the need for rehab may include pain, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, abnormal muscle tone, difficulty swallowing, difficulty speaking, impairments in memory, impairments in thinking and problem solving, impairments in vision, as well as difficulty with daily activities, such as eating, bathing, toileting, and dressing.

Some of the conditions that may benefit from neurological rehabilitation are as follows:

• Infections, such as meningitis, brain abscesses, polio, and encephalitis.

• Vascular disorders, such as subdural hematoma, ischemic strokes, hemorrhagic strokes, and transient ischemic attacks.

• Trauma, such as spinal cord and brain injury.

• Functional disorders, such as dizziness, headache, neuralgia, and seizure disorders.

• Structural or neuromuscular disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical spondylosis, Bell palsy, peripheral neuropathy, brain or spinal cord tumors, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and muscular dystrophy.

• Degenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington chorea.
