What is a Neurological Condition.
A neurological condition is a complex disorder that affects the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system, influencing how we move, think, feel, and interact with the world around us.
Examples of Neurological Conditions include
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): A chronic autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system, leading to a wide range of symptoms including physical, cognitive, and sometimes psychiatric problems.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND): A group of diseases that affect motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and a progressive loss of mobility and motor function.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): A form of chronic pain that usually affects an arm or a leg, characterized by severe pain, swelling, and changes in the skin.
Parkinson’s Disease: A neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowing of movement.
Alzheimer’s Disease: The most common cause of dementia, characterized by a decline in memory, language, problem-solving abilities, and other critical thinking skills.
Epilepsy: A central nervous system disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness.
Stroke: Occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients which causes cells to die.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI): Caused by a blow or other traumatic injury to the head or body, the severity of which can range from mild (a brief change in mental status or consciousness) to severe (an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury).
Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal, often causing permanent changes in strength, sensation, and other body functions below the site of the injury.
