Neuromuscular Disease
Neuromuscular diseases affect the nerves that control voluntary muscles, the muscles themselves, or how they communicate. Conditions such as Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and peripheral neuropathies can impact movement, strength, and overall function.
These conditions often lead to changes in strength, endurance, mobility, and daily activities, with symptoms varying based on the specific diagnosis and individual needs.
Areas We Commonly Support
- Muscle weakness or loss of strength
- Fatigue and reduced endurance
- Difficulty with walking, balance, or mobility
- Changes in posture or joint stability
- Impaired coordination or fine motor control
- Difficulty with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, or meal preparation
- Sensory changes, including numbness or tingling
- Breathing, swallowing, or communication challenges in certain conditions
- Emotional and psychosocial impacts related to chronic or progressive disease

- Occupational Therapy to support daily living skills, fine motor function, adaptive equipment use, and strategies to promote independence and energy conservation
- Speech-Language Pathology to address communication, cognition, voice, and swallowing concerns when present
- Specialized neuromuscular rehabilitation approaches tailored to the specific diagnosis and functional needs
