Neurological physiotherapy is the treatment of patients who have a neurological disorder.

 

Neurological disorders are those affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves; such as stroke, MS and Parkinson's disease.

 

Treatment in neurological conditions is typically based upon exercises to restore motor function through attempting to overcome motor deficits and improve motor patterns. To achieve this aim various theoretical frameworks have been promoted, each based upon inferences drawn from basic and clinical science research.

 

Whilst some of these have remained static, others are designed to take into account new developments, perhaps the most notable example being the "movement science" framework.
