Area of Science:

Neurology
Rehabilitation Medicine
Integrative Medicine

Background:

Neurological diseases cause significant disability, necessitating rehabilitation.
Long-term neuro-rehabilitation is challenged by cost and therapist availability.
Integrating complementary therapies like Yoga is crucial for effective patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of integrated yoga therapy within multimodal rehabilitation for neurological conditions.
To assess yoga's benefits for patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and other neurological disorders in an inpatient setting.

Main Methods:

A single-group pre-post study design was employed at a German neurological rehabilitation center.
Twenty inpatients with diverse neurological conditions participated.
A 3-week yoga intervention (breathing, asanas, relaxation) was integrated with conventional therapy.

Main Results:

Significant reductions observed in pain (66.97%), spasticity (64.47%), and anxiety (29.05%).
Improvements noted in Barthel Index (10.38%) and Timed Up and Go Test (11.63%).
Enhanced quality of life across physical, psychological, and environmental domains of WHOQOL-BREF.

Conclusions:

Yoga integration into neuro-rehabilitation is feasible and beneficial for inpatients.
Yoga therapy effectively alleviates key symptoms and improves functional outcomes.
Further research on long-term effects and comparative therapies is recommended.
