Neurological Physiotherapy aims to provide an improved
understanding of problems commonly encountered by the therapist
working with people with neurological disability. It describes
aspects of posture and movement difficulties which may occur as a
result of neurological damage and gives guidance to help the
therapist to plan the appropriate treatment programme for each
patient. Using a problem-solving approach the emphasis is on the
identification of symptoms in relation to impairment and disability
rather than on a detailed description of neurological
conditions.Patient-centred - focuses on patient problems, not on
medical diagnoses Encourages analysis of the abnormal pathology to
