Effects of brain Stroke on Neurological Functions.

Neurological functions are those mediated by our brain and nerves; they are essential for daily activities such as moving, thinking, speaking and interacting socially.

Therefore after a brain stroke, the brain impairment results into disruption of the information processing and transmission through the nervous system; this translates into a number of physical impairments called neurological deficits and leads to loss of functional and social abilities.

What happens during rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation is a process commonly used to strengthen or to regain neurological functions. During rehabilitation we learn how to regain strength or independence in daily activities. One of the key drivers of the success of any rehabilitation program is carefully directed, well-focused, repetitive practice - the same kind of practice used by all people when they learn a new skill, such as playing the piano.

One of the key neurological processes supporting rehabilitation is the capacity of our brain to reorganize our healthy neurons to orchestrate new information circuits. When this happens in the brain this process is called neuroplasticity.

Clinical research on late stage patients (up to 6 months) has shown efficacy of NeuroAiD™ in helping patients regain functional independence as well as neurological functions.

Though the exact mechanism of actions is unknown it is thought that NeuroAiD™ supports the neuroplasticity by creating an ideal environment for optimal neuronal reorganization and recovery.

Further clinical research is on-going in hospitals to evaluate the exact effect of NeuroAiD™ at different stages of stroke onset.
