NORMAN — specialised neurological rehabilitation for 30 years.Specialised neurological rehabilitation for patients following brain tumour surgery.
Therapy results
Brain tumour surgery is often a sudden and dramatic event, both for the patient and for their closest family. In most cases, people who have undergone surgical intervention require advanced medical care and a suitable rehabilitation programme. It is common for a range of cognitive and motor deficits to develop after brain tumour surgery. Specialised rehabilitation plays a key role in recovery, giving you the chance to regain lost functions.
Neurological rehabilitation after brain tumour surgery is essential in order to maximise the chances of regaining health and independence. Surgery saves lives, but it can cause – as unfortunately happens very often – a variety of functional deficits, depending on the location and size of the tumour, as well as the area of the brain in which it is situated.
This is where specialists trained and experienced in working with patients of this kind can help. At the NORMAN Neurological Rehabilitation Centre we run rehabilitation programmes dedicated to patients following brain tumour surgery. We have brought together more about the condition itself and its consequences in our compendium of knowledge about brain tumours.

Motor progress after brain tumour surgery at the NORMAN centre
Every patient after brain tumour surgery is unique, with their own individual set of deficits and needs. The foundation of effective rehabilitation is a precisely tailored therapy programme, which must be preceded by an assessment of the patient’s functional status, along with the indications and contraindications for specific rehabilitation procedures. Only on this basis is it possible to establish an individual rehabilitation plan for a particular patient.
At the NORMAN centre we begin work after carrying out various functional tests aimed at establishing the patient’s needs, and after reviewing their medical records.
Depending on the location of the tumour, work may focus on different areas: from gait and balance re-education, through cognitive rehabilitation, to speech and swallowing therapy, where these functions have been affected.
This is a very general overview and only a fraction of what we do, because – as we mentioned earlier – every patient is unique and requires a unique approach, along with methods and procedures appropriate to their state of health and capabilities at the time they arrive for their rehabilitation stay.
At the NORMAN Neurological Rehabilitation Centre we are prepared, both technically and clinically, to work with neurological deficits of this kind. For over 30 years we have been running specialised neurological rehabilitation programmes that have helped thousands of patients from all over the world.
