Paralysis Rehabilitation Islamabad

Paralysis & Neurological Rehabilitation in Islamabad

Weakness or paralysis from stroke, spinal cord injury, nerve or brain conditions can often be improved with structured rehabilitation. IPSSC offers personalised programmes led by Dr. Zahid Rustam.

Rehabilitation aims to help you do more for yourself: moving, standing, walking and daily activities, as far as your condition allows.

Paralysis and neurological rehabilitation at IPSSC

Neurological Rehabilitation

Paralysis or weakness may follow a stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, nerve disease or other neurological conditions. The outcome depends on the cause and severity, and we set realistic goals together.

Our programmes combine therapy with medical care for related problems such as stiffness, pain, bladder issues and pressure-sore prevention.

  • Weakness or paralysis of one or more limbs
  • Reduced balance and walking ability
  • Muscle stiffness or spasms
  • Difficulty with self-care
  • Pain related to weakness

Conditions We Rehabilitate

Stroke

Weakness, balance and speech problems after stroke.

Spinal cord injury

Rehabilitation after traumatic or non-traumatic spinal cord injury.

Brain injury

Cognitive, movement and balance problems after brain injury.

Other neurological conditions

Multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, neuropathy and more.

How We Plan Recovery

We assess strength, sensation, tone, balance and functional ability, and coordinate with your family and other therapists.

  • Neurological and functional assessment
  • Review of scans and previous reports
  • Goal setting
  • Home exercise and caregiver guidance
