STROKE
Stroke is also called a cerebrovascular accident. This happens when there is a lack of blood flow to a part of the brain due to a blood clot or bleeding in the brain. This damage to the brain can cause movement, sensory and cognitive disorders.
SPINAL CORD INJURY
Injury to the spinal cord or the nerves at the end of the spinal cord leads to loss of movement and sensation to the parts of the body supplied by the damaged nerves.
PARKINSON’S DISEASE
This is a neurodegenerative condition that causes small and slow movements as well as tremors. It can also cause balance and coordination issues.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
This is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system which can lead to numbness, weakness, fatigue and visual disturbances among other symptoms.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
This is a broad term that describes the alteration of brain function due to an external force. This can lead to physical challenges with movement and coordination due to the damage to the brain.
