Apps for Neurological Rehabilitation
Apps can be a useful tool when living with a Neurological Condition. They can be a useful aid as part of the rehabilitation process or can assist with compensation. Finding the right app is key. We've tried and tested hundreds of apps. Each app is tested for usability, merit and safety and then rated for your ease. Our founder, Ruth Siewruk, was the lead clinician on the award winning MyTherappy NHS app testing project, which is no longer available due to NHS pressures.
