Neurological Rehabilitation for Improved Mobility and Function
University Hospitals Rehabilitation Services provides neurological physical and occupational therapy services for patients that have issues with upper extremity mobility or performing any daily tasks related to nervous system diseases or illness including:
- Alzheimer's disease
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease)
- Balance disorders
- Bell's palsy
- Head trauma
- Multiple sclerosis
- Muscular dystrophy
- Parkinson's disease
- Progressive neurological conditions
- Seizure disorders
- Spasticity
- Stroke
After a traumatic brain injury or with a progressive neurological condition, brain cells that are not injured can actually learn to control missing functionality for enhanced recovery and improved long-term health. Working with the referring physician, physical medicine doctor and other specialists at University Hospitals, neurological physical and occupational therapy specialists help evaluate the patient and create an individualized care plan that will help improve or restore mobility and functional skills to optimize a person’s independence.
Neurological Clinical Specialists for Advanced Therapy
A neurological clinical specialist (NCS) is a specially trained physical therapist with advanced training in neurological physical therapy. After passing a board certification examination and meeting with stringent requirements, the American Board of Physical Therapist Specialists awards these therapists with the NCS credentials.
