Rehabilitation for neuromuscular disorders focuses on improving function, strength, and quality of life for individuals affected by conditions such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), peripheral neuropathies, and myopathies. These disorders often result in progressive muscle weakness, impaired mobility, and reduced daily functioning, making early and individualized rehabilitation essential. Therapy typically includes physical exercises to maintain muscle strength and flexibility, occupational therapy to optimize daily activities, and respiratory therapy to support breathing and endurance. A multidisciplinary approach ensures that interventions address both physical limitations and overall well-being.

Recent advances in neuromuscular rehabilitation have incorporated technology and evidence-based strategies to enhance patient outcomes. Robotic-assisted devices, exoskeletons, and electrical stimulation therapies help maintain or restore muscle function, while wearable sensors and tele-rehabilitation platforms provide continuous monitoring, feedback, and personalized exercise adjustments. In addition, regenerative therapies and research into stem cell treatments offer potential for slowing disease progression and supporting functional recovery. By combining conventional therapy with innovative technologies, rehabilitation programs empower individuals with neuromuscular disorders to maintain independence, improve mobility, and achieve a higher quality of life.
