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
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 ALS – The 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.
Motor Neuron Disease Symptoms
Progressive muscle weakness
Muscle atrophy
Muscle cramps and twitches
Dragging of leg
Fine motor challenges
Fasciculations
Speech difficulties
Dysphagia
Respiratory problems
Fatigue
Cognitive changes
Motor Neuron Disease : Early Symptoms
Early signs of MND may include:
Muscle cramps
Clumsiness
Slurred speech
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.
OT helps restore strength, improve endurance and hand function, and manage fatigue.
Physiotherapy helps improve posture and prevents joint immobility.
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
