Assessment Before Exercise
Neurological symptoms need individual context.
A neurological diagnosis does not affect every person in the same way. The physiotherapy approach should consider what the patient can currently do, what is difficult, what is safe and what matters most in everyday life.
Assessment may consider movement quality, muscle strength, balance, gait, transfers, endurance, fall risk and functional independence, along with relevant medical history and precautions.
Neuro physiotherapy may focus on:
โWalking and gait practice
โBalance and postural control
โStrength and movement practice
โBed mobility and transfers
โFunctional task practice
โHome exercise and caregiver guidance
