Neurofunctional physiotherapy in cervical granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis: case report

Abstract

Neurofunctional Physiotherapy is an extremely important and widely known area in human physiotherapy. The main focus is the performance of basic actions by the neurologically compromised patient such as staying in station, taking a glass and / or walking. In veterinary physiotherapy it is a new aspect, but it is on the rise. Granulomatous Meningocencephalitis (MEG) is a common disease in the veterinary clinic, with a poor prognosis and that causes important neurological changes in the patient. Although it is a serious and progressive disease, neurofunctional physical therapy in MEG was important for the return of basic functions such as walking, in addition to helping to control pain caused by the spasticity presented by the patient. It is necessary that further studies are carried out, but with regard to quality of life, it has proved to be very efficient.
