Neurological rehabilitation for patients recovering from a stroke

BURLINGTON, Ontario - May 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Stroke rehabilitation involves having the patient participate in cognitive and physical activities, the latter of which can be carried out with our experienced staff at Physiomax Wellness.

When a patient suffers a stroke and the part of the brain that controls movement is damaged, muscular weakness or paralysis will result.  The extent of the damage, and hence treatment period, depends on the severity of the stroke.

It is the physiotherapist’s main concern to help patients relearn the skills they lost and regain as much independence as possible, while improving their quality of life.  This is achieved in several ways:

Exercise – an exercise plan will be put together by the physiotherapist and modified as necessary to help improve strength and balance.
Electrical stimulation can be used to stimulate weakened muscles and cause them to contract.
Skills training – practicing specific tasks that mimic everyday life activities in order to allow greater independence with day-to-day tasks.
