Stroke Rehabilitation

As Neurological physiotherapist, we aim to restore function and improve quality of life. The approach typically begins with a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s motor and sensory abilities, as well as their overall physical condition.

Therapeutic interventions for stroke often involve exercises tailored to the individual’s specific impairments, such as muscle weakness, spasticity, or balance deficits. These exercises are designed to promote neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new connections following injury.Gait training is a significant component, focusing on improving walking ability through exercises that enhance strength, coordination, and endurance. Techniques like constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) may also be employed to encourage the use of the affected limb and improve functional independence. We utilize various modalities such as electrical stimulation, and manual therapy techniques to address muscle tone, promote circulation, and reduce pain associated with stroke. The rehabilitation process is often long-term and progressive, with therapists continually adjusting treatment plans based on the patient’s evolving needs and progress.

Education and support for both the stroke survivor and their caregivers are integral parts of Therapy program, empowering them with knowledge and techniques to manage daily challenges and optimize recovery. We also focus on enhancing cognitive functions affected by stroke, integrating cognitive training exercises into the rehabilitation program to improve memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.

Assessment of functional outcomes is regularly performed to track progress and set new goals, ensuring that therapy remains effective and aligned with the patient’s recovery objectives. Ultimately, we strive to maximize the stroke survivor’s independence and overall quality of life, supporting them in reclaiming as much functionality as possible after a stroke.
