The Complex Operational Unit (U.O.C.) of Neurorehabilitation for Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders is a nationally recognized reference center in the field of neurological rehabilitation and complements the other highly specialized centers of the Ospedale Moriggia-Pelascini. The coexistence of different high-level specialties within the hospital—including Neurosurgery, Cardiology, Vascular Surgery, the Intensive Care Unit, and the Cardiac Care Unit—enables the Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Rehabilitation Center to adopt a holistic approach to treatment.

Sixty-five inpatient beds are dedicated to the rehabilitative care of people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) or parkinsonisms (such as progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal syndrome, vascular parkinsonism, and dystonias). Each year, more than 700 PwPD are admitted to this department to undergo an intensive rehabilitation program supervised by a multidisciplinary team composed of Neurologists, Neurophysiologists, Neuropsychologists, Nutritionists, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, and Nurses.

There are also outpatient clinics dedicated to PwPD (approximately 20 visits per week), both for initial consultations and follow-up evaluations, allowing for a comprehensivediagnostic and therapeutic approach to the disease.

Finally, the Center collaborates with Italian and international institutions on research projects in a multitude of diverse fields, including cognitive-motor rehabilitation, genetics, creativity, and pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments
