As mentioned in the last blog post I am beginning to try to collate some of the many articles that we have put on the website into a potentially more usable and easy to access format, rather than the extremely long list of physiotherapy based articles that it currently is.

So, as part of the process of collating all of these articles, in this blog post we will continue with a look at our articles about neurological physiotherapy.

Transient Ischaemic Attack

This is often called a mini stroke and is generally caused by a blockage of one of the cerebral arteries that supply blood to the brain. Unlike a stroke, symptoms will generally resolve completely within 24 hrs. More information can be found here

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease is a degenerative (meaning it usually worsens) central nervous system disorder that affects primarily the motor system. It was originally described by an English doctor called James Parkinson who gave the disease its name. It is caused by cells in the brain that produce a key neurotransmitter called dopamine dying.

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is an extremely varied condition that affects approximately 2.5 children per 1000 births (Parkes & Hill 2010), the term cerebral palsy is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of motor and movement deficits and problems that occur in this condition. The cause is thought to be from damage to the motor centres of the brain during pregnancy and it tends to show through delayed motor development early in childhood, with symptoms usually becoming evident after 6-9mths.
