About neurological disorders
Neurological conditions can affect movement, sensation, balance, coordination and independence. Symptoms that are new, sudden or rapidly worsening require prompt medical attention.
When appropriate, physiotherapy can contribute to a coordinated care plan focused on mobility, strength, balance, task practice and participation in daily life.
