Neurorehabilitation in Neurosurgery

Abstract

Neurorehabilitation is an important pillar in the management of neurosurgical patients. Neurorehabilitation is an integrated interdisciplinary care program including a set of interventions to help people with disabilities to acquire and maintain optimal functioning in their environment, permitting them to attain maximum independence and social reintegration. This chapter is an abstract of the rehabilitation approach to neurosurgical conditions, including trauma (to the brain, spine, and nerves), stroke, and tumor, and post-surgical care.
