Neurological Home Rehabilitation in Istanbul

Direct answer

Neurological home rehabilitation in Istanbul is a model that can be suitable for individuals who struggle with movement, balance, transfers, daily living skills, or participation at home following a neurological disease or injury. However, neurological conditions are heterogeneous; safety, pain, fatigue, goals, and the home environment must be assessed together.

What does neurological rehabilitation cover?

This page covers functional loss not just due to stroke, but also acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve issues, or progressive neurological diseases. NICE NG252 approaches neurological rehabilitation as a holistic process that includes pain, fatigue, emotional state, and social participation.

For whom might it be suitable?

It can be considered for individuals struggling with indoor walking, sitting and standing up, transfers, balance, energy management, upper extremity use, or activities of daily living. NICE NG252 explicitly emphasizes that services must be accessible within the person's home and everyday living areas.

What is examined in the initial assessment?

Balance, strength, sensation, pain, fatigue, environmental barriers, the need for assistive devices, communication, and limitations in activities of daily living are evaluated together.

How are goals determined?

Meaningful goals are set, such as turning more safely, requiring less help to reach the bathroom, increasing sitting tolerance, or using the affected arm more frequently in daily tasks.
