Functional Neurology
Functional neurology is an emerging field of healthcare that utilizes evidence-based neurological rehabilitation to help people with neurological conditions to optimize their functional performance. It takes into account many factors, such as muscle strength and joint range of motion, posture, balance, coordination, and sensory integration, as well as the underlying neurological mechanisms. Functional neurology can be used to treat a variety of neurological disorders, including concussions, strokes, brain injuries, Parkinsons, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and dementia. Additionally, it can help people with chronic pain, sleep disorders, headaches, and other neurological problems. By focusing on the underlying neurological mechanisms, functional neurology aims to improve the function and quality of life of individuals with neurological conditions.
