Abstract
Problems in neurological disorders, including gait abnormalities, muscle weakness, spasticity, tremor, fatigue, balance disorder, and incontinence, result in a lower physical activity level. After determining the situations that are contraindicated for physical activity, the patients should be evaluated by physiotherapists, and possible risks that may occur should be determined. Many studies have demonstrated that physical activity significantly reduces mortality and morbidity, increases community participation, and improves health-related quality of life. These benefits show that increased physical activity and exercise should be part of the standard management of neurological disorders. In these patients, this narrative review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of physical activity recommendations for individuals with chronic neurological disorders.
Methods: This narrative review collected relevant papers and articles identified by a search in both Scopus and PubMed. Systematic reviews and observational articles focusing on new technology in the treatment of different neurological conditions were included. Articles that were in English, case reports from 2014 to 2024.
Results: A total of five articles were found to be reviews of high technology to treat neurological conditions, and outcomes are cognitive function, activity of daily living, balance, hand function, gait, and motor activities.
CONCLUSION: When creating high technology (HT) programs for people with neurological disorders, it is possible to refer to clinical practice by including the points to be considered. This narrative review examines the importance of HT levels and exercise recommendations in different neurological disorder groups (stroke, MS, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injury (SCI)). Multicomponent technology training involving strength and balance exercises induces crucial beneficial effects on health. Therefore, considering the neurodegenerative feature of neurological disorder, we believe that HT is very important to avoid the progression of both cognitive and motor symptoms of the disease.
