Neuromuscular re-education is a therapy technique that focuses on retraining the muscles and nervous system to restore proper movement patterns, particularly after injury or neurological conditions. It involves specific exercises and techniques that help improve motor control, coordination, and muscle strength, targeting areas affected by injury, disease, or dysfunction.
Therapists use neuromuscular re-education to address imbalances, muscle weakness, or poor movement patterns. This may include functional exercises, balance training, or techniques like electrical stimulation to activate muscles. The goal is to restore optimal muscle function and movement patterns, enabling individuals to return to their normal activities.
Neuromuscular re-education is essential for individuals recovering from conditions like stroke, brain injury, or musculoskeletal injuries, as it helps to improve movement efficiency and overall function.
