Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke patients can move towards recovery with appropriate intervention in the form of a multidisciplinary approach which includes:
Mobility/gait training, which involves learning to move with assistive aids, such as a walker or quad stick, or an orthosis (dynamic AFO) to stabilise and assist the ankle. Early standing is facilitated by the tilt table, automatic standing frame. Neurorehabilitation often involves teaching people how to move, talk, think and care for themselves again. Therapists aim to build strength, co-ordination, stamina and confidence in their patients, allowing them to become as independent as possible once again.
