What are neurological conditions?
A neurological condition is any condition that affects the brain, brainstem, spinal cord and/or peripheral neurological structures. Neurological conditions could be the result of a single event (like a stroke or a spinal cord injury) or they could be progressive in nature (like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease).
The Neuro Hub offers rehabilitation services to adolescents and adults with a range of neurological conditions including (but not limited to):
- Traumatic and acquired brain injury
- Cerebrovascular injury (Stroke)
- Functional neurological disorders
- Parkinson's Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Brain and spinal tumours
- Spinal cord injuries
How long is each episode of care?
This is dependent on each neurological condition and each client. The timeline of rehabilitation and the intensity of rehabilitation depends on whether the condition has arisen from a single event or is progressive in nature. On assessment, your therapist will make recommendations on the amount of therapy you may need.
How are sessions structured
Sessions are normally 1 hour in duration and you may have sessions once or twice a week , alternative weeks or monthly, depending on your needs.
