Common Conditions in Physiotherapy
Neurological System
Stroke (CVA): Sudden loss of brain function due to interrupted blood flow, leading to hemiparesis, speech problems, and motor impairments.
Cerebral Palsy: A developmental disorder affecting movement and posture due to brain damage in early childhood, often causing spasticity and coordination issues.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): An autoimmune disease that damages the myelin in the central nervous system, leading to muscle weakness, fatigue, and balance problems.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): Damage to the spinal cord that can cause partial or complete loss of motor and sensory function below the injury site.
Cardiovascular System
Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack): Death of heart tissue due to a blocked coronary artery, which can lead to heart failure and reduced functional capacity.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Persistent elevation of blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease, strokes, and kidney damage.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowing of arteries in the limbs, causing pain while walking and increasing the risk of ulcers and amputations.
Heart Failure: The heart’s inability to pump blood efficiently, resulting in fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling.
Respiratory System
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A progressive disease causing airflow obstruction, with symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, and sputum production.
Asthma: An inflammatory disease of the airways that causes wheezing, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing.
Pneumonia: A lung infection that inflames the alveoli, causing fever, difficulty breathing, and general weakness
Pulmonary Fibrosis: A chronic disease that hardens lung tissue, reducing gas exchange capacity and leading to progressive hypoxia.
Musculoskeletal System
Low Back Pain (Lumbago): Pain in the lower back, often linked to poor posture, overload, or disc herniations.
Patellar Tendinopathy: Injury to the patellar tendon, common in athletes, causing pain in the front of the knee.
Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease causing pain, stiffness, and limited movement.
Bone Fractures: A break in a bone due to trauma or conditions like osteoporosis, requiring rehabilitation to restore mobility and strength.
