Goal

Balance and muscle weakness are serious issues for people with the condition Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2).

‘NF2 Information and Services’ is looking at options to help people take steps at home to recover by not just sharing what physical therapy types an individual might need, but options for things people can do safely on their own from home, or gathering with others to help if necessary.

NF2 health issues left untreated can result in unexpected problems, like delay in walking after equilibrium issues, and poor immune systems. But, following different treatments like surgery, immediate recovery is necessary if an individual is considering a clinical trial, tumor-drug treatment all of which hinder any wound healing and chance of complete recovery from surgery.

Prolonged lack of recovery following doesn’t only leave an individual with muscle weakness and unable to walk but could hurt the heart as per the recommendations of movement needed daily by the American Heart Association, and risk circulation for memory.

Possible reasons individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 have issues walking and muscle weakness.
