Neuro-Disorders | Swarga Foundation

Our focus is primarily on Multiple Sclerosis and neurological disorders like Paraplegia, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinsons’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy and Autism.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is a disorder of central nervous system affecting the brain and spine, which leads to complete disability. It has various symptoms ranging from minor visual disturbance to total paralysis, due to which simplest everyday tasks can no longer be efficiently performed.

Understanding Multiple Sclerosis

Paraplegia

Paraplegia is usually caused by spinal cord injury or a congenital condition that affects the neural elements of the spinal canal. It is accompanied by loss of movement, sensation, and reflexes below the level of the spinal cord injury

Muscular Dystrophy [MD]

Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. It weakens the musculo-skeletal system and hampers locomotion (walking or movement in some way).

Parkinson’s Disease [PD]

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and slow, imprecise movement, chiefly affecting middle-aged and elderly people. It is associated with degeneration of the basal ganglia of the brain and a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Cerebral Palsy(CP)

Cerebral Palsy is caused by abnormal development or damage to the brain resulting in permanent movement disorders. Problems include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, tremors etc.
