DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGICAL REHABILITATION
Within our Department of Neurological Rehabilitation, specialized physiotherapists are trained at both undergraduate and graduate levels by experienced academic staff in the field. The program focuses on the assessment and treatment of adult and pediatric patients experiencing movement disorders resulting from diseases or injuries of the nervous system.
At the undergraduate level, internship training for physiotherapy students is conducted in the neurosurgery service, neurological rehabilitation inpatient and outpatient services, as well as pediatric rehabilitation inpatient and outpatient services. In addition, physiotherapy and rehabilitation services in these units are provided by expert academic staff specialized in the field.
At the graduate level, Master’s and doctoral programs related to the specialty area are offered. Upon completion of these programs, highly qualified specialist physiotherapists and physiotherapists with doctoral degrees—who have completed comprehensive theoretical and practical training in their field—are trained.
The primary rehabilitation areas within our Department include stroke, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuromuscular disorders, and pediatric conditions.
Current physiotherapy approaches in neurological physiotherapy and rehabilitation are closely followed within the Department, and numerous national and international publications and projects contributing to scientific advancement and public health are actively conducted.
