During neurological rehabilitation, the Best Neurologist in Ludhiana will make use of the different treatment techniques to benefit your health. Depending on what suits your condition the best, your Neurosurgeon In Punjab will suggest you the best choice. Let’s talk you through them one by one.

 

Facilitation method

Facilitation and enhancement help the muscles to function easily. The motor control is improved. At first, it was developed in the 1950s and till now many facilitation techniques have been there to improve the dysfunctions. It helps the muscle to stretch and great emphasis is given on the activities like:

  • Tapping

Tapping is done through light force over the muscles area or tendon to make it respond. As it is done manually, it is recommended to do it 3 to 5 taps to facilitate the specific area.

  • Brushing

The use of a battery-operated brush is another beneficial way to facilitate the muscles and enhance their performance. Although, the research on this is still limited.

  • Cryotherapy

Ice is another great way to facilitate muscle response. During this, the pain sensation and coolness are used so that the muscles give the right kind of response.

  • Stretching

You can get the stretching in different ways and each of its effects will be different. Some of the stretching types are prolonged, maintained, and fast.

 

Joint Compression

Joint awareness can be greatly reduced by doing joint compression as it improves motor control. By doing so, it will improve the inhibitory and facilitatory effects. It can be done manually or with weight-bearing postures to help in improving muscle control. This is done in 2 ways:

  • Light Compression
  • Heavy Compression

 

Vibration

  • Muscle vibration

Muscle vibration has been proven effective in patients with neurological problems. It reduces muscle tone and helps in improving inhibitory and corticospinal excitability.

  • High-frequency

The frequency vibrations are obtained through the vibrators which have the frequency of 100 – 200 Hz and at an amplitude of 1 – 2 mA. So, through these muscles are stimulated.

  • Low Frequency

Through the low frequency, the muscles are activated with the stimulation of 5 -50 Hz. although, when using this you need to take the necessary precaution as discussed by the therapist. The problem is that it can generate heat on the area which is used and skin damage is possible.

There is another new technique which is named whole-body vibration which helps in improving the gait and balance.

 

Vestibular Stimulation

With this stimulation system, multi-sensory and personalized sensory systems are used. It includes the following:

 

●     Total body inhibition It is done through slow rocking, slow anterior-posterior movement, slow horizontal movement, slow vertical movement, and slow linear movement.
●     Total body facilitation It is done through the rocking patterns on elbows, crawling, extended elbows, and rolling patterns.
●     Spinning Facilitating the higher points through overflow impulses.
●     Facilitation of postural extensors Anterior-posterior or angular acceleration of the head& body while the child in the prone position.

 
●     Inverted position It is done to get the entire body inhibition.
