Approaches to sensory-motor symptoms in neurological diseases.

Often, somatosensory and motor symptoms frequently co-occur in individuals with neurological conditions. These two systems exert reciprocal influences on one another; thus, an effective neurological rehabilitation protocol in clinical practice should concurrently address both motor and sensory assessment and training procedures. Although neurological rehabilitation guidelines emphasize the motor and sensory systems, it is valuable to examine contemporary approaches to their assessment and rehabilitation separately and in detail. In this review, we synthesize current neurological rehabilitation strategies for Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's Disease. In addition to outlining the clinical presentation of these pathologies, we provide a comprehensive overview of motor and sensory assessment methods as well as current rehabilitation approaches.
