Advantages of cognitive training
- Improving motor skills
Neurological occupational therapy helps to specifically promote mobility, coordination and strength. Exercises to stabilize and improve motor functions are particularly important after strokes, with Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis. Patients learn to retrain movement sequences in order to perform everyday tasks more safely and efficiently. - Promoting independence
The therapy places great emphasis on helping patients to cope with basic everyday activities such as getting dressed, eating and mobility. With individually adapted exercises and training sessions, patients can regain their independence in everyday life and move more safely in their environment. - Improving quality of life
Restoring abilities and regaining independence make a significant contribution to improving quality of life. The ability to master everyday tasks independently increases self-confidence and promotes active participation in social life. This reduces isolation and frustration, which has a positive impact on mental and physical health. - Why neurological occupational therapy at Mediphysio?
