MND Should Not Slow You Down
Slow Down MND With Plexus

Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a group of progressive neurological disorders that affect the motor neurons – nerve cells responsible for controlling muscle movement. It is a debilitating condition with complex causes, symptoms, and risk factors.

Motor Neuron Disease Causes and Risk Factors

motor neuron risk factor

Family history

Familial ALS – Nearly 5-10% of MND cases with clear genetic links are classified as Familial ALS. These genetic mutations can cause degeneration and ultimately death of motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy.

Sporadic ALSThe majority of MND cases are sporadic, with no family history of the disease. However, research suggests that the presence of various genetic variations may increase susceptibility to sporadic ALS.

Environmental factors

Toxin exposure – Such as heavy metals like lead and pesticides

Oxidative stress and inflammation

Oxidative stress can lead to the complete degeneration of motor neurons. Local and systemic inflammation can also contribute towards disease progression.

Glutamate Excitotoxicity

Excess glutamate can overstimulate nerve cells, causing them to become damaged or die.

Causes of Sensory Processing Disorder

It is not clear yet what exactly causes sensory issues in children. While some researchers believe that it may be connected to the way the sensory pathways in the brain process and organize information.
While it is also unclear if sensory issues can occur on their own or if they are caused by another disorder. Some doctors and healthcare professionals believe sensory processing issues are a symptom of another issue rather than a diagnosis in itself.

Motor Neuron Disease Treatment in Bangalore

At Plexus, we offer the best treatment for MND through our tailored rehabilitation program. This unique regenerative rehabilitation program comprises the following:

Stem cell therapy

Injected stem cells slow down the rate of neurodegeneration and also have the capacity to self-renew, regenerate cells, and repair damaged tissue. 

Occupational therapy

OT helps restore strength, improve endurance and hand function, and manage fatigue. 

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps improve posture and prevents joint immobility. 

Speech and language therapy

Speech therapy helps maintain communication skills, and swallowing skills. It also aids in symptom management.

Muscle relaxants and medication

These help relieve muscle stiffness, and reduce drooling that occurs due to dysphagia.

Our rehabilitation for MND also offers: 

  • Diets and nutrition plans
  • Endurance training and fitness management
  • Functional stretching for relief from muscle stiffness
  • Hand function training
  • Functional splinting
  • Strengthening of muscles in the shoulder, neck, upper and lower limbs, and oral structures
  • Activities for daily living training
  • Energy conservation and work simplification training
  • Counseling and caregiver support

Our treatment program at Plexus

We are one of the leading Sensory Processing Disorder treatment centers in the country. Under the guided supervision of Dr Na’eem Sadiq, our team of occupational therapists provides Sensory Integration Therapy to treat neurological conditions like  Cerebral Palsy in children.

After a thorough evaluation, we determine how the therapy will benefit your child’s condition. Our therapists plan a sensory diet exclusively for your little ones and record their improvements on a weekly basis. 

We provide coping strategies for your child to overcome sensory processing issues by:
  • Anticipating action and outcome
  • Correctly interpreting sensory input
  • Creating physical equilibrium and a sense of space
  • Developing positive behavior patterns
  • Eliminating fear
  • Encouraging play and socialization
  • Lessening sensory defensiveness
  • Minimizing input intolerance
  • Reducing negative physical reactions
