Patient Assessment:
Conduct thorough assessments of patients with neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis).
Evaluate muscle tone, balance, coordination, gait, posture, and functional mobility.
Treatment Planning:
Develop individualized physiotherapy plans based on assessment findings and patient goals.
Set short-term and long-term rehabilitation goals in collaboration with the patient and healthcare team.
Therapeutic Interventions:
Implement evidence-based neurophysiotherapy techniques such as NDT (Neurodevelopmental Therapy), PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), Bobath, motor relearning programs, and functional electrical stimulation.
Use mobility aids, balance equipment, and assistive technologies as needed.
Monitoring and Evaluation:
Monitor patient progress regularly and update treatment plans accordingly.
Document therapy sessions, assessments, and improvements in the patient's file.
Patient and Caregiver Education:
Educate patients and caregivers on exercises, posture correction, transfers, fall prevention, and home exercise programs.
Offer psychological support and motivation to improve patient compliance.
Team Collaboration:
Work as part of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team (occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, neurologists).
Participate in case discussions and coordinated care planning.
Assistive Device Support:
Recommend and train patients on the use of orthoses, mobility aids, wheelchairs, and other supportive equipment.
