Motor Neuron Disease (MND) affects daily life, impacting physical abilities and cognitive functions. Individuals may experience fatigue, movement difficulties, and changes in behavior, making routine activities challenging. Implementing specific strategies can help manage these symptoms and improve quality of life.
Movement and Positioning:
Regular repositioning prevents discomfort and pressure sores. Caregivers should be trained by physiotherapists for safe assistance.
Managing Fatigue:
Planning activities with rest periods and using assistive devices can reduce physical strain.
Improving Sleep Quality:
Consistent bedtime routines and a comfortable sleep environment, including adjustable beds, can help.
Breathing Support:
Maintaining an upright position improves lung capacity and clears mucus. Therapists may recommend exercises and respiratory equipment.
MND has a huge effect on the daily life of the diagnosed. Not only does it progressively weaken muscles and cause fatigue, research has shown that it contributes to other areas.
