Planning for an unexpected life
Neurological diseases causing motor/cognitive impairments are among the most common causes of adult-onset disability.
More than one billion of people are affected worldwide, and this number is expected to increase in upcoming years, because of the rapidly aging population.
Following a brain or spinal injury, a neurological event such as a stroke, infection or brain tumour or as a degenerative condition like multiple sclerosis, an individual can experience enormous changes to their life – from their physical and cognitive functioning to their emotional and mental health.
The aim of Cyril is to enable people to live as normal a life as possible, by increasing their independence and skills. Support to adapt to ‘a new normal’ and progress along a journey towards independence is a core aim of neurological rehabilitation.
