What is Neurorehabilitation?

What is neurorehabilitation?

 The nerves in the nervous system get created and die only once. If the nerves are lost once, there is no way of bringing them back. But it is possible to create a connection with the nerves that still thrive.

Though nerves cannot be born newly, the nerves can create a connection with other nerves. Through this connection, the nerves can share information and even learn new things. This is called plasticity and this principle is used in neurorehabilitation.

Neurorehabilitation is a standard part of neurology treatment for patients who have any diseases relating to the brain. Medications might work on the nerves that are in the process of dying but once they are dead, medications cannot help. Neurorehabilitation and physiotherapy are the only ways to help the existing nerves learn the functions that the dead nerves were responsible for.

A stroke happens when there is a blood clot or blood leakage in the brain. This can cause severe damage to the nervous system. The nerves that remain have different functions and it takes time for them to learn the functions of the dead nerves. Neurorehabilitation helps speed up the process.

Time is crucial for neurorehabilitation. In stroke patients, neurorehabilitation should be done starting from 24 hours to 6 months after the stroke attack. If neuro rehabilitation is not done within 6 months then it might take a longer time for the nerves to learn the new skills.
