Neurological Rehabilitation

Neurological rehabilitation at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai, Kottayam, provides personalised rehabilitation for people affected by stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, transverse myelitis, and peripheral nerve injuries.

Our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation team focuses on improving mobility, balance, strength, coordination, speech, and independence while preventing complications. Treatment may include gait and mobility training, spasticity management, assistive devices, and caregiver training, based on each patient’s functional needs and recovery goals.

Our Neurological Rehabilitation Programme

Rehabilitation is planned by the physiatry team and delivered by physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy, working alongside neurology and neurosurgery through every phase of recovery.

01

Rehabilitation After Head Injury

Structured recovery after traumatic brain injury covering movement, balance, memory and behaviour, with the intensity of therapy matched to how alert and responsive the patient is.

02

Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

Strength and transfer training, wheelchair skills and bladder, bowel and skin care, planned around the level of injury and how much function is likely to return.

03

Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders

Therapy for slowness, rigidity, freezing of gait and small handwriting, with cueing techniques and exercise programmes that keep patients moving as medication is adjusted by neurology.

04

Multiple Sclerosis and Nerve Inflammation

Management of fatigue, weakness, balance loss and bladder symptoms, with programmes paced so therapy builds strength without triggering a relapse of symptoms.

05

Guillain Barre Syndrome and Nerve Recovery

Graded strengthening and breathing support during the weak phase, followed by walking retraining as nerve function returns over weeks to months.

06

Balance, Dizziness and Fall Prevention

Assessment of why a patient is falling, followed by balance retraining, walking aid prescription and home safety advice to reduce the risk of a serious injury.

07

Bladder, Bowel and Skin Care

Continence retraining, catheter guidance and pressure sore prevention, the complications that most often bring neurological patients back into hospital.

08

Long Term Review and Home Rehabilitation
