Neuro Biomechanical Rehabilitation
Neurobiomechanical Recovery (NBM) is a modern concept in rehabilitation that combines neuroscience and biomechanics to address dysfunctions and injuries of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems. This method integrates knowledge of how the nervous system and mechanical structures (bones, muscles, joints) function to optimize the recovery of patients who have suffered various injuries or conditions affecting movement.
The main components of neurobiomechanical recovery include:
- Neurology: Focuses on the function and recovery of nerves and the connections between the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is essential to assess how nerve signals are affected and how they can be restored to regain normal functions.
- Biomechanics: Concentrates on movement analysis and understanding the mechanical forces acting on the body. This involves correcting posture, joint alignment, and improving motor function to prevent further damage and maximize functional performance.
- Neuro-motor integration: The neurobiomechanical recovery process includes exercises and therapies aimed at restoring neuro-muscular connections and coordinating activity between the nervous system and muscular movements. This helps improve coordination and motor control.
- Personalized rehabilitation: Each neurobiomechanical recovery program is tailored to the patient’s specific needs, depending on the severity of the injury, recovery capacity, and functional goals.
NBM is used in recovery after strokes, traumatic brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis), as well as musculoskeletal conditions such as joint, tendon, or muscle injuries. Therapists and physicians use this approach to maximize recovery potential and help patients return to the highest possible level of function.
