MND - From Diagnosis to Resilience

We use mesenchymal Cells (MSCs), procured from the patient’s own body, to slow down disease progression, and prevent neuronal death. MSCs’ ability to differentiate into different cell types, as well as their immunomodulatory and regenerative properties make them the ideal choice for MND treatment. The advantages of mesenchymal Cell therapy at Plexus include:

• Reduces inflammation and neuroinflammation
• Promotes neuroprotection and neuronal survival
• Supports neurogenesis and neurorepair
• Minimally-invasive and painless procedure
• Autologous Cells minimise risk immune rejection

Patients with MND often face problems in walking, maintaining balance, and moving their shoulders and hands. Many patients even complain of severe pain in their limbs, especially their shoulders and legs. Physical therapy can help them improve posture, prevent joint immobility, and slow muscle weakness and atrophy with the help of a planned regimen of stretching and strengthening exercises.

Occupational therapists help to maintain strength, improve endurance, manage fatigue, train hand functions, reduce risk of falls and fall-related injuries and foster independence in daily life tasks and community mobility through a combination of various activities and adaptations.

Speech and swallowing difficulties are common in patients with Motor Neuron Diseases. Speech therapists help to maintain communication and swallowing skills for as long as possible, manage symptoms, and adopt compensatory strategies for loss of function.

Apart from the above, we also employ a wide range of rehabilitation techniques to slow the progression of the disease and make it easier to manage the symptoms, including:

• Endurance training
• Dysphagia management
• Hand function training
• Strengthening of oral structures
• Strength training of upper limbs and lower limbs
• Stretching to improve joint mobility
• Functional splinting
• Functional stretching
• ADL training
