Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

Post-Stroke Rehabilitation is a process that helps patients regain their independence and quality of life.

Stroke is a condition that affects many parts of the brain. There are three types of strokes – ischemic, hemorrhagic, and atherothrombotic.

After a stroke, many patients suffer from sequelae, which causes them to lose the most basic life skills such as normal walking, talking, eating, dressing, and even washing their face and brushing their teeth. Only with timely rehabilitation and re-learning, can these skills be mastered again, to return to normal life and even work.

Post-Stroke Rehabilitation is important for recovery after a stroke. Depending on which part of the brain has been affected, rehabilitation helps patients regain their ability to communicate, move, and perform daily tasks. It can be physical, cognitive, and behavioral in nature. The goal is for the person to recover as much function as possible so that they can live independently and enjoy life again.

How can our physiotherapist help with post-stroke?

Our physiotherapist is a skilled professional who has the knowledge and expertise to help with post-stroke rehabilitation. They can help patients recover from a stroke safely and effectively by providing a post-stroke rehabilitation plan.

Physical activities might include:

  • Motor-skill exercises – Exercises can help improve muscle strength and coordination throughout the body. These can include muscles used for balance, walking and even swallowing.
  • Mobility training – You might learn to use mobility aids, such as a walker, canes, wheelchair or ankle brace. The ankle brace can stabilize and strengthen your ankle to help support your body’s weight while you relearn to walk.
  • Active range-of-motion therapy – Certain exercises and treatments can ease muscle tension (spasticity) and help you regain range of motion.

After the first treatment session, you are encouraged to speak with your physiotherapist about the latest evidence-based treatments that you can try at home in order to minimize your risk of complications or re-injury.
