A neurological disorder has a huge impact on your life. Some things you can no longer do, and everyday actions suddenly become very difficult, which is challenging, frustrating, and often hard to accept. Our therapists help you relearn everyday tasks and function as well as possible.
In addition, they ensure that your body remains optimally fit and that your condition stays as good as possible.
What is the approach of the different disciplines?
During physiotherapy, work is done on strength, endurance, balance, and coordination. Together, we look at the problem areas that restrict daily activities. For example, in the case of strength loss in an arm, in addition to muscle strengthening, work will also be done on improving function, such as reaching and bending or stretching the arm.
Occupational therapy is used to further improve functions, for instance in the case of impaired hand function, but will also consider if aids are desired. Through a home visit, an assessment will be made of what aids are necessary to maintain independence as much as possible. In cases of cognitive disorders, such as those that may occur after a stroke, attention and focus training will be applied. If an aid such as a mobility scooter or adapted bike is purchased, the occupational therapist will teach you how to operate it.
