ABSTRACT

At Glance to Alternative Medicine The doctors and physiotherapist has been dedicated to the neurological rehabilitation use an enormous variety of techniques. When examining the strategies of treatment with different physiopathology and philosophical bases, the possibility is recognized to use to diverse techniques to obtain one objective, according to specific planning of the treatment. This article describes several techniques of common use, but with little scientific evidence for the use of others. Therefore the available data are reviewed to support their use.
