Introduction:[edit | edit source]
-According to the WHO (World Health Organization) Neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. In other words, the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. These disorders include epilepsy, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine and other headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuroinfections, brain tumors, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to head trauma, and neurological disorders as a result of malnutrition[1]
- Long-term neurological conditions (LTNCs) could be classified into:
■ Sudden onset conditions (eg acquired brain injury of any cause (including stroke), spinal cord injury)
■ intermittent conditions (eg epilepsy)
■ progressive conditions (eg multiple sclerosis (MS), motor neuron disease (MND), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative disorders)
■ Stable conditions with/without age-related degeneration (eg polio or cerebral palsy) [2]
- Neurological conditions are the most common cause of serious disability and have a major, but often unrecognized impact on health and social services.[3]
-Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in energy expenditure. Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repeated and has as a final or an intermediate objective to the improvement or maintenance of physical fitness.[4]
