NORMAN — specialised neurological rehabilitation for 30 years.Other neurological conditions
Specialised rehabilitation for patients with neurological diagnoses other than stroke, traumatic brain injury and post-brain tumour surgery. We always tailor the therapy programme individually to each patient’s condition and their dominant functional impairments.

What patients say about us
Neurological rehabilitation for patients with other neurological diagnoses
This group includes patients whose neurological problems are not directly related to stroke, traumatic brain injury or post-brain tumour surgery. These are people who need an individual rehabilitation programme, matched to their current state of health, level of ability and dominant functional difficulties.
The neurological rehabilitation programme for this group of patients at the NORMAN centre is built on many years of experience working with people who have a wide range of diagnoses and functional needs. Every patient comes to us with a different set of deficits, which is why we always plan the therapy process individually.
As with the other programmes at our centre, we never assume a single fixed set of exercises in advance. We choose the techniques and procedures only after getting to know the individual case, reviewing the medical records and assessing the patient’s current condition.
We take into account not only physical ability, but also safety, the body’s capacity, mental and emotional state, and any co-existing conditions. This is the basis on which we build the therapy plan.
This group of patients most often needs
- motor rehabilitation tailored to the patient’s condition
- improved balance, movement coordination and postural control
- speech therapy, where such difficulties are present
- support in functioning safely in everyday life
The types of conditions we most often work with
This care pathway covers patients with neurological diagnoses other than stroke, traumatic brain injury and post-brain tumour surgery. These most often include:
Neurodegenerative diseases
- Parkinson’s disease
- progressive supranuclear palsy – PSP
- dementia disorders
- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – ALS
- spinal muscular atrophy – SMA
Demyelinating and autoimmune diseases
- multiple sclerosis – MS
- acute disseminated encephalomyelitis – ADEM
- autoimmune encephalitis
Injuries to the nervous system
- subdural haematoma
- extradural haematoma
- traumatic peripheral nerve injury
- cerebral hypoxia following cardiac arrest
Infectious diseases of the nervous system
- encephalitis
- meningitis
- neuroborreliosis (Lyme disease)
- brain abscess
- neurological complications following infections
- post-infectious neuropathies
What we focus on
A neurological approach to rehabilitation
Rehabilitation for this group of patients is based on a neurological approach to the treatment process, taking into account the patient’s current condition and their most important functional problems.
For more than 30 years we have been working with neurological patients, combining expertise in neurological and functional therapy.
During rehabilitation stays we focus on areas such as motor rehabilitation, improving balance, walking and movement coordination, as well as speech therapy, where the patient has such difficulties.
An important part of rehabilitation is also educating the patient and their family and preparing them for daily life after the stay comes to an end. Patients with multiple sclerosis and their loved ones may find our guide to rehabilitation in MS helpful.
Examples of therapeutic goals
- motor rehabilitation tailored to the patient’s condition
- improved balance, movement coordination and postural control
- improved limb function and quality of movement
- speech therapy, where difficulties are present
- support for the patient and their loved ones with the next steps in rehabilitation
Scope of the programme
What the rehabilitation programme may include
The therapy programme always depends on the patient’s needs on the day rehabilitation begins.
Functional goals
- improving the quality of walking, balance and mobility
- increasing limb function and movement control
- improving movement coordination and body stability
- maintaining or improving current functional ability
Everyday practice
- matching therapy to the patient’s current capabilities
- planning sessions with the body’s capacity in mind
- speech therapy, where difficulties call for it
- support for the patient and their loved ones with the next steps in rehabilitation
What sets us apart
How we work with patients who have other neurological diagnoses
For this group of patients, individualised therapy, the experience of our team and tailoring the programme to each specific case are especially important.
A team of specialists
Therapy is more effective thanks to the collaboration of the whole rehabilitation team.
One-to-one sessions
We focus fully on one patient at a time. We do not run group sessions.
A tailored programme
We match the therapy plan to the patient’s current capabilities and most important goals.
Safety
We take into account every relevant medical aspect, the body’s capacity and any co-existing conditions.
Functional rehabilitation
We focus on the areas that genuinely affect the patient’s everyday life.
Support for loved ones
We show the family and carers how to support the patient once the stay has ended.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before contacting us
Who is this page for?
It is for patients with neurological diagnoses other than stroke, traumatic brain injury and brain tumour surgery, who need an individually tailored rehabilitation programme.
Is the programme the same for every patient?
No. We always tailor the therapy programme to the specific case, the patient’s current state of health, level of ability and most important functional problems.
Can the programme include speech therapy?
Yes. If the patient has speech difficulties, the rehabilitation programme can be supplemented with speech therapy as one element of a comprehensive approach.
