neurological deficits

Neurological deficits are problems that occur when parts of the brain, spinal cord, or nerves aren’t functioning properly. These issues can affect movement, sensation, speech, vision, or thinking skills. They might result from stroke, injury, diseases, or other conditions. For example, someone might have weakness on one side of their body, difficulty speaking, or trouble with coordination. The severity and type depend on which parts of the nervous system are affected. Recognizing these deficits helps in diagnosing the cause and determining the best treatment to improve function and quality of life.
