Study Notes
Neurological Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation aims to help disabled people cope independently with family, work, friends, and leisure.
- It focuses on restoring function and providing compensatory or adaptive strategies for any disability, regardless of cause.
- Rehabilitation is a process actively engaged in by the disabled person, aided by professionals.
Neurorehabilitation
- Neurorehabilitation restores function in people with neurological damage.
- It's a multidisciplinary approach using strategies to reduce disability and improve quality of life.
Rehabilitation Process Centered
- Persons/patients are central to the rehabilitation process.
Key Concepts of Neurorehabilitation
- Impairment: Alterations in anatomy or physiology (bodily structure or function).
- Disability: Functional consequences of impairment, leading to restrictions like walking or communicating.
- Handicap: Social context of disability, impacting social function (e.g., employment).
WHO's International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (1980)
- Impairment: Loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure/function.
- Disability: Restriction or lack of activity due to impairment from normal performance (specific to age, sex, culture).
- Handicap: Disadvantage resulting from impairment/disability, limiting fulfilling a normal role.
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
- ICF provides a framework for describing and organizing information on functioning and disability.
- It creates a standard language and basis for defining and measuring health and disability.
ICF Model
- Health condition: Disorder or disease.
- Body functions and structure: Physiological functions of body systems.
- Activity: Performing tasks and actions.
- Participation: Involvement in life situations.
- Environmental factors: Physical, social, and attitudinal environment.
- Personal factors: Individual's attributes such as beliefs, coping mechanisms, and emotions.
Example: Spinal Cord Injury (23-year-old)
- Body functions & structure: Loss of sensation below the waist, loss of lower limb movement.
- Activities: Limited daily living function, difficulty with self-care.
- Participation: Difficulty with social activities, struggling to study at school.
- Environmental factors: Needs barrier-free facilities and access to Rehabus.
- Personal factors: May need peer support and family assistance.
Using ICF Checklist
- User-friendly tool for eliciting and recording information about functioning and disability.
- Allows for identifying and qualifying individuals quickly and efficiently.
- Information suitable for case records (clinical practice or social work).
Medical Model of Disability
- Individualistic view: disability is a medical condition/disease specific to each individual.
- Focus on cure/treatment within the individual.
- Assumes disabled people are inherently biologically/psychologically inferior.
- Sees disability as a personal tragedy and victim.
Social Model of Disability
- Focuses on societal barriers: society creates obstacles for disabled people.
- Emphasizes attitudinal, sensory, architectural, and economic barriers alongside health barriers.
- Advocates for environmental adaptations for inclusion, participation, and equality.
Rehabilitation Process
- Active & dynamic process where disabled individuals are supported in acquiring knowledge, skills, maximizing physical, psychological, and social well-being.
- It's structured into three key areas: reducing disability, acquiring skills/strategies, and altering the environment (physical and social changes).
Neurological Rehabilitation
- A practical and common sense approach, using basic principles, knowledge of the natural history and associated symptoms of the cause of disability.
