Neurological Disorders
Progressive PT works with individuals suffering from a variety of neurological disorders or diseases.
Common problems of patients with neurological disorders include paralysis, vision impairment, poor balance, difficulty walking and loss of independence, all of which physical therapy can improve.
After we evaluate and identify the patient’s specific impairments, our therapists will work with both the patient and family to develop a treatment plan that will help to maximize function and quickly return the patient back to the activities they enjoy most. Treatments may consist of balance training, endurance/strength training, practicing isolated movements, repeatedly changing from one kind of movement to another, and rehearsing complex movements that require a great deal of coordination and balance, such as walking up or down stairs or moving safely between obstacles.
The neurological disorders and diseases we treat include:
- Alzheimer’s
- ALS
- Brain injuries
- Cerebral palsy
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal cord injuries
- Stroke
- Peripheral nerve injury
