Brain Injury

Post brain damage recovery involves two processes, 

  • Spontaneous: it is related to repairing of the central nervous system soon after the brain injury and diaschisis regression.

  • Function-induced: It is geared towards promoting neuroplasticity as a response to environmental stimulation and activity practice for a behavioural therapy, just as for constraint-induced movement therapy protocol.

Physiotherapeutic Interventions for Brain Injury Patients

There are three major categories of physiotherapeutic interventions,

  • Restorative: It focuses on reactivating diaschisis and penumbra premorbid movement restoration.

  • Compensatory: It focuses on optimal enhancement of function by employing the therapy for loss compensation, with use of the non hempleigic side

  • Preventative: It focuses on lowering impairment and enhancing general health, for example, chest health is enhanced by respiratory physiotherapy.

  1. Therapeutic exercises
