Popis: Inpatient rehabilitation (IR) units represent a unique opportunity to provide comprehensive, wraparound care for typically treatment resistant Functional Neurologic Symptom Disorder (FNSD) or conversion disorder. The case report presents one example of an IR program for a patient with FNSD-based cataplexia and paralysis symptoms. Orienting an FNSD-naïve staff and an operant behavioral-based treatment approach are discussed. Included are recommendations for use in an IR setting.
