Abstract :

Functional neurology disorder (FNDs) cases are not uncommon in neurorehabilitation practice. It is very challenging to rehabilitation professionals. Main presentations can be mobility problems, pain, weakness, speech disorder, coordination, psychological, seizure, dystonia etc. etc. Most of the time, they underwent extensive and repeated investigations leading nowhere. This is draining resources on health and social services. There will be three to four or more functional neurology cases with a variety of presentations. There are no smoking guns in diagnosing FNDs. The professionals need to pick up inconsistencies in the presentations with investigation findings.
