Students receive ICU exposure as part of their clinical rotations, especially in neuro-intensive care units. They are trained to assess neurological deficits in unconscious or ventilated patients.

Key areas include positioning, passive mobilization, chest physiotherapy, and prevention of secondary complications. Emphasis is placed on infection control, communication with multi-disciplinary teams, and gradual rehab planning once patients stabilize.

Yes, MPT Neurology students are trained to handle patients who've undergone procedures like craniotomies, spinal decompressions, or tumor removals.

They learn about post-operative precautions, early mobilization techniques, and patient monitoring. Clinical postings in neuro wards help them gain first-hand experience, under supervision, in managing such delicate and high-risk cases effectively.
