Neuro-Rehabilitation:

Neuro-rehabilitation is a type of services given to people who have suffered from brain injuries and other neurological disorders such as Stroke, Spinal cord Injury, Parkinson’s and many neuro-muscular disorders. This treatment is based on the idea that healthy sections of the brain can be trained to take over for areas that have been damaged or destroyed. Though the damaged portions of the brain cannot be repaired, in many cases, patients are able to retrain themselves to function the way they did before the injury. Patients who undergo neuro-rehabilitation may also learn adaptive strategies to compensate for abilities that cannot be completely restored.
