My father had a stroke and has difficulty speaking. Will NeuroMatrix™ training help him talk again?
The devastating effects of a stroke results from trauma to the brain from inside the skull instead of the outside: A blood vessel swells and bursts – pressure inside the skull causes serious damage to the soft brain tissue. To add insult to injury, the escaped blood, being very toxic to brain cells, produces even more damage and destruction. While it is true that billions of nerve cells may die as a result of a stroke, it is also true that, given the right instruction, neurons in adjacent brain areas can be recruited to help restore lost functions. NeuroMatrix™ training assists the brain in activating idling, inactive, and damaged neurons, and in teaching brain cells in adjoining areas to do unfamiliar tasks. NeuroMatrix™ training greatly enhances and accelerates the therapeutic benefits of traditional Physical, Rehabilitative, Occupational, and Speech Therapy. The greatest possibility of recovering speech and other major brain functions is assured.
