FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[01] The present disclosure relates to a medical kit provided to assist patients. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a rehabilitation kit and a method for assisting patients fully or partially bed ridden or diagnosed with neurological diseases.

BACKGROUND

[02] Neurological disorders are diseases of brain, spine and nerves that connect them. It is estimated that approximately 600 diseases are related to nervous system. As known, people as they age gets diagnosed with several neurological disorders such as Alzheimer, Dementia, Parkinson's and Stroke and so on. Further, due to other problems, people may become partially or fully bed sore.

[03] It is generally known that the patients who are fully or partially bed ridden or diagnosed with neurological diseases are treated for their diseases in hospitals. After leaving the hospital, the patients need continuous care. In order to take care of the needs of the patient, caretakers such as a family member, a nurse, or a professional are needed. Typically, when the patients leave the hospitals after the diagnosis, the patients are often given written or verbal instructions which generally require the caretakers to buy materials or components to aid in patients’ rehabilitation process.

[04] The components required to aid the patients are not easily available. Further, the caretakers are not aware of how to use the components. In order to gain knowledge on taking care of the patient, the caretaker may have to rely on sources such as internet, medical practitioners and so on. Due to the paucity of time, complexity, and discomfort involved in getting the components, the caretakers often do not comply with their doctor's orders. As a consequence, the rehabilitation process for the patient is hampered.

[05] Currently, there are no rehabilitation kits for the patients suffering from neurological diseases such as Alzheimer, Dementia, Parkinson’s and Stroke and therapeutic kit for full or partially bed ridden patients such that the caretakers are able to take care of the patients.
