BRAIN INJURY, REHABILITATION AND SPASTICITY

The brain is a complex structure which controls; motor skills, touch, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, thoughts, memory, emotion, and every process that regulates the body. 

A wide range of impairments ensue as a result of injury to the brain. 

Neurological disability
Following acquired brain injury can be secondary to conditions such as; traumatic brain injury (as a result of blow to the head, fall, road traffic accident), stroke, CNS infections / inflammation and cerebral palsy.
Physical Changes
Following brain injury, may also affect different part/s of the body. Weakness, stiffness, restricted range of joint movement and pain can affect mobility, balance and activities of daily living. Brain injury can also impact thinking function, behaviour, mood and speech.
Rehabilitation
Aims to maximise the individual’s potential to regain as much independence as possible whilst minimising long term impact of the injury.
Consultant-led team
Will work with the patient to identify the extent of any impairment or disability and takes into consideration the physical, cognitive, and emotional problems to establish both short and long term goals. Such goals take into account the aims and views of each individual, their needs, their pre-injury function and lifestyle. We work closely with patients to promote and enhance their independence and quality of life.
