Coordination Training for Neuro Patients

Coordination Training for Neuro Patients

Regaining smooth, controlled movement after neurological injury

Neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or Parkinson’s disease can disrupt coordination, making everyday tasks like reaching, walking, or grasping objects challenging. Coordination training is a key part of neuro rehabilitation, helping patients regain balance, precision, and confidence in movement.

Why Coordination Training Matters

Coordination is the brain and body working together to produce smooth, purposeful movements. Neurological injuries can interfere with this process, leading to:

Jerky or delayed movements

Poor balance and risk of falls

Difficulty performing daily tasks

Fatigue due to inefficient movement

Targeted coordination exercises help retrain the nervous system, rebuild neural pathways, and reduce compensatory movement patterns.

How We Train Coordination

Our therapists design programs that may include:

Hand-eye and foot-eye exercises – tossing balls, target tapping, stepping to visual cues

Balance and gait drills – stepping over obstacles, side-stepping, walking on uneven surfaces

Functional tasks – pouring water, reaching for objects, manipulating utensils

Dual-task training – combining cognitive challenges with movement to simulate real-life tasks

Sensory feedback techniques – using visual, tactile, or rhythmic cues to improve precision
