By Ishmeet Singh (PT) Virtual Reality (VR) has long captivated our imaginations, transporting us to fantastical worlds and immersive experiences. But beyond gaming and entertainment, this groundbreaking technology is now making profound strides in a field where it truly matters: neurorehabilitation. For individuals grappling with neurological conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain…
Ishmeet Singh (PT) Tele-rehabilitation, also known as e-rehabilitation, is revolutionizing healthcare by delivering rehabilitation services remotely using telecommunication technologies. This innovative approach offers numerous benefits for both patients and healthcare providers, making it a valuable tool for improving access to care, particularly in geographically remote areas. Advantages of Tele-rehabilitation: Improved Accessibility: Tele-rehabilitation eliminates geographical barriers,…
Ishmeet Singh (PT) A spinal cord injury (SCI) can be a profoundly life-altering event, dramatically impacting an individual’s mobility, sensation, and overall independence. For those living with SCI, the journey to recovery and adaptation is often long and challenging. However, the landscape of SCI rehabilitation is continuously evolving, fueled by groundbreaking research and technological innovation,…
By Ishmeet Singh (PT) Our nervous system – the intricate network of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves – is the command center for every movement, sensation, and thought. When this system is affected by injury or disease, the impact on movement, function, and overall well-being can be profound. This is where neurological physiotherapy, also…
By Ishmeet Singh (PT) Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in paralysis below the injury level, severing the vital communication link between the brain and muscles. However, a groundbreaking and rapidly evolving technique known as epidural stimulation is offering unprecedented hope by aiming to restore some movement and function in individuals with paralysis. At Rehabilitation…
By Ishmeet Singh (PT) Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) can profoundly alter an individual’s life, often impacting mobility and independence. Yet, the field of neurorehabilitation is constantly evolving, bringing forth innovative therapies that offer new hope. Among these, Electrical Epidural Stimulation (EES) and Partial Bodyweight Support Treadmill Training (PBWSTT) are emerging as powerful tools, with exciting…
By Ishmeet Singh (PT) Regaining the ability to walk after a neurological condition can be a challenging journey. Fortunately, rehabilitation science continues to innovate, offering powerful synergistic approaches. Two such techniques, Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Partial Bodyweight Support Treadmill Training (PBWSTT), when combined, can offer a highly effective strategy for improving gait function. At…
By Ishmeet Singh (PT) For individuals facing challenges with walking due to neurological conditions, regaining mobility is a primary goal. Partial Bodyweight Support Treadmill Training (PBWSTT) has emerged as a highly effective and widely adopted therapeutic intervention in rehabilitation programs. This innovative technique provides a safe and controlled environment, allowing individuals with limited mobility to…
By Ishmeet Singh (PT) In the realm of rehabilitation, innovation constantly seeks ways to restore function and improve quality of life. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) stands out as a highly effective and established therapeutic technique that uses low-level electrical pulses to activate muscles and nerves. Unlike more experimental approaches, FES has a proven track record…
Ishmeet Singh (PT) Neuromodulation is a rapidly evolving field in medicine that involves the targeted manipulation of the nervous system to treat a variety of neurological and chronic conditions. This approach utilizes various techniques to alter nerve activity and influence communication within neural networks, ultimately aiming to alleviate symptoms and improve function. Understanding the Core…
