Managing Severe Neuro-Disability

Neurodisability can take many forms- from weakness and paralysis, to stiffness of the affected limb, slowness, poor coordination, or indeed an inability to use the affected limb properly despite having normal power. Neurodisability can be due to a disorder of development; can follow tumours, trauma infection, inflammation or cancer affecting the brain and/or other parts of the nervous system, or indeed can be degenerative as in Parkisonism and certain forms of dementia. Neurodisability often renders the sufferer immobile, bed bound or wheel chair bound, needing assistance for all activities of daily living, with a poor quality of life.
