Novel Physiotherapies and Physical Rehabilitation

Advances in Neuromuscular Rehabilitation

Neuromuscular rehabilitation is evolving rapidly, integrating cutting-edge research and technology to improve outcomes for individuals with neurological and muscular disorders. This field focuses on restoring function, enhancing mobility, and improving quality of life for patients affected by conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and peripheral neuropathies .Robotic-assisted therapies and wearable exoskeletons support motor recovery by facilitating precise, repetitive movements that strengthen neural pathways. These devices enable customized rehabilitation tailored to each patient's mobility needs and goals. FES devices stimulate specific muscle groups to facilitate controlled movement, often used for gait training in stroke or spinal cord injury patients. By reactivating dormant muscles, FES helps retrain motor skills and improves functional mobility. BCI systems allow patients to control external devices through brain signals, providing a pathway to retrain movement in the absence of voluntary control. This technology is particularly promising for severe paralysis rehabilitation.
