The lack of movement capacity in the affected half-body structures can lead to other health complications. An early physiotherapeutic approach is necessary in a patient with Hemiplegia, as this treatment will provide him with more functional opportunities and improve his quality of life.
What is Hemiplegia?
Hemiplegia is a paralysis that affects the right or left half of the body, commonly caused by an injury to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord): the orders or commands to execute movements are no longer transmitted to the muscles. In addition to motor disorders, other functions can be affected, such as memory or sensitivity. Those affected by hemiplegia go through two stages, one of spasmodic hemiplegia, the affected muscles are rigid and the second called flaccid hemiplegia where the muscles are soft and weak.
What treatments do we perform at FisioClinics Palma de Mallorca?
The treatments applied by FisioClinics Palma de Mallorca physiotherapists are based on the three-dimensional movement pattern in the central nervous system. These patterns are stored in the nervous system and can be activated by specific stimuli. This means that the receptors perceive the movement and position of the body in space.
This is implemented through routine and systematic training sessions of movement sequences, in these sessions methods such as the Bobath Concept and the Kabat Method of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are applied, among other techniques and methods to address hemiplegia and other neurological injuries. The dormant connections between nerve fibers in the brain are revived and activated by this process.
