Abstract

Unfortunately, most people with MS will develop disability, which may or may not be permanent, at some point in their lives. Effective management of this is dependent on co-ordinated services that can be accessed by the person with MS in a timely and effective fashion. Neurological rehabilitation is a process of active change by which the person with MS acquires the knowledge and skills necessary for optimum physical, psychological and social function. It requires a dedicated multidisciplinary team with a clear understanding of the MS disease process, the mechanisms of disablement, and the skills to educate and treat people with disability so that they may participate fully in their chosen roles. This review considers the necessary components to the rehabilitation process and when such input may be most appropriate.
