Physical Therapy -> Neuromuscular Retraining
Short description
Neuromuscular Retraining involves exercises that improve the communication between the nervous system and muscles, enhancing coordination and movement efficiency. This is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from neurological injuries or surgeries.
Long description
Neuromuscular Retraining focuses on restoring normal movement patterns and improving motor control. These exercises help in re-establishing the brain-muscle connection, crucial for coordinated movements.
Therapeutic activities typically include:
• Proprioceptive Exercises: Activities that enhance the body’s ability to sense its position in space, such as balance drills.
• Coordination Tasks: Exercises that require precise timing and sequencing of movements, like clapping or tapping rhythms.
• Motor Control Drills: Practicing specific movements repeatedly to improve accuracy and fluidity.
