Neurological Rehabilitation

What is Neurological Rehabilitation?

UR Medicine’s Neurological Rehabilitation program helps people who have been affected by a disease or injury to their neurological system. There are many benefits to neurological rehabilitation, including improving function, reducing symptoms, and improving an individual's quality of life.

UR Medicine's Approach

Some of the conditions we manage include:

Vascular disorders such as stroke
Spinal cord disease or injury
Trauma, such as moderate to severe brain injury
Spasticity (muscle stiffness)
Peripheral nerve disease (neuropathy)
Infections, such as meningitis, encephalitis and brain abscesses
Structural or neuromuscular disorders
Functional disorders (headaches, seizures, and dizziness)
Degenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease and Huntington chorea

Our treatment may consist of physical or occupational therapy, medicine prescription, modalities, orthotics/bracing, speech and language therapy, or neuropsychology. We also provide referrals to other departments when needed.
