MND Physiotherapy – Delivered at Home
Understanding Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological disease that affects neurons that control voluntary muscles. These include muscles that are required for speaking, walking, breathing, swallowing, and breathing. As motor neurons degrade muscle strength and coordination decrease, frequently leading to substantial disability. The speed and rate of decline can vary among individuals however early therapeutic exercise can preserve the functioning, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life through the various phases of the disease.
Common Challenges with Motor Neurone Disease
Progressive Muscle Weakness
As MND increases, muscle strength decreases steadily which affects mobility, dexterity, as well as confidence in daily tasks.
Speech and Swallowing Difficulties
Many suffer from dysarthria (slurred speech) as well as dysphagia (trouble swallowing) which makes the process of eating and communicating difficult.
Breathing Challenges
The respiratory muscles may weaken and cause breathlessness and a higher likelihood of getting respiratory infections.
Mobility and Balance Issues
Poor coordination and weak limbs can cause difficulty walking regularly, frequent falls and the necessity for aids to mobility.
Fatigue and Low Energy
Constant fatigue and a lower stamina are commonplace, and often affect the ability to perform a regular routine.
Emotional and Psychological Impact
The gradual characteristic of MND can result in depression, anxiety and emotional stress for the sufferer as well as their families.
