Care Overview

The Department of Neuro-Physiotherapy at Pink Star Hospital provides comprehensive physical therapy and movement rehabilitation for individuals affected by brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerve disorders. Led by Dr. Ashish Sharma, MPT (Neurology), with over 15 years of specialized experience, our department is dedicated to restoring mobility, balance, strength, and self-reliance in patients recovering from neurological trauma or living with progressive conditions.

Key Clinical Focus

Neurological rehabilitation differs significantly from standard physical therapy. It leverages the brain's innate ability to reorganize itself—known as neuroplasticity. By retraining damaged neural pathways through repetitive, task-specific exercises, patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury can regain essential motor skills and functional independence.

Key Clinical Focus

Our department provides structured rehabilitation protocols for stroke paralysis, spinal cord injuries, Bell's Palsy, Parkinson's disease, sciatica, vestibular vertigo, and post-neurosurgical cases. Every treatment program begins with a meticulous clinical evaluation to map specific muscular weaknesses, sensory deficits, and functional constraints.

Key Clinical Focus

Advanced neuro-rehabilitation techniques—including Motor Relearning Programs (MRP), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and gait laboratory analysis—are combined to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Key Clinical Focus

Early physical rehabilitation following acute neurological events prevents secondary complications like joint contractures, muscle atrophy, deep vein thrombosis, and pressure sores, drastically shortening the path to recovery.

Key Clinical Focus

At Pink Star Hospital, Dr. Ashish Sharma works in close collaboration with Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Orthopaedists, and Critical Care specialists to ensure a seamless transition from medical stabilization to complete functional rehabilitation.

Diagnosis Process

1

Detailed Clinical History & Consultation

An in-depth discussion regarding the onset of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and the patient's personal rehabilitation goals to set a clear baseline.

2

Motor Function & Muscle Strength Testing

Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) to evaluate the strength of specific muscle groups and identify areas of weakness or paralysis caused by neurological damage.

3

Tone & Spasticity Assessment

Using standard scales like the Modified Ashworth Scale to evaluate muscle tone, stiffness, and spasticity common in conditions like Stroke, CP, and MS.

4

Sensory Examination

Testing for superficial and deep sensations, including pain, temperature, touch, and proprioception to map peripheral nerve integrity and spinal cord function.

5

Gait & Biomechanical Analysis

Observing the patient's walking pattern to identify deviations, balance issues, or compensations that need correction through specific gait training protocols.

6

Balance & Coordination Testing

Performing tests such as the Berg Balance Scale or Timed Up and Go (TUG) to assess fall risk and formulate a safe balance retraining program.

7

Cranial Nerve Evaluation

Crucial for patients with conditions like Bell's Palsy or Traumatic Brain Injury, this tests the function of facial, ocular, and vestibular nerves.

Follow fall prevention safety measures at home
Wear prescribed orthotic splints or braces continuously
Avoid long periods of static sitting or poor posture
Perform nerve gliding exercises as prescribed by your specialist
Ensure home walkways are clear of trip hazards
Stay well-hydrated to support muscle health
Attend scheduled progress re-evaluation appointments
Consult your neuro-physiotherapist before changing exercise routines

Recovery & Long-Term Follow-Up Care

Neurological rehabilitation is a continuous recovery journey. Every patient receives customized home exercise programs, periodic progress reassessments, and ongoing guidance to maintain functional gains and prevent long-term relapse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about neurological physiotherapy, stroke recovery, and physical rehabilitation.

Neurological Physiotherapy focuses specifically on disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves (such as Stroke, Parkinson's, and SCI). Unlike general orthopaedic therapy, it emphasizes neuroplasticity, motor relearning, and balance retraining.

Physiotherapy should begin as early as possible—often within 24 to 48 hours after medical stabilization. Early intervention significantly boosts brain neuroplasticity and functional recovery.

While outcomes vary, early electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), facial exercises, and nerve re-education under an MPT Neurology specialist greatly accelerate recovery and restore facial symmetry.

Physiotherapy cannot reverse Parkinson's, but it slows functional decline by improving gait, reducing muscle rigidity, enhancing balance, and teaching strategies to overcome freezing episodes.

With targeted spinal decompression, core stabilization, and nerve flossing exercises, most sciatica patients experience significant relief within 4 to 8 weeks without surgery.

You should consult if you experience muscle weakness or paralysis after a stroke/trauma, persistent balance issues, facial drooping, radiating nerve pain, or progressive mobility loss.
