What is Stroke Rehabilitation?
A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is cut due to blood clots or blood vessel clogging. A stroke may cause various issues like speech or visual impairments, paralysis or sensory impairments, various cognitive or motor issues. The duration and severity of such impairments can be reduced and treated in a rehabilitation center. Such a treatment called Stroke Rehabilitation and may include Physiotherapy, speech therapy and improvement in cognitive ability.

This rehabilitation center is fully equipped and has the best experts to provide post stroke rehabilitation care. Avanta Healthcare also provides homecare treatments for stroke patients.
What are the various complications that arise after a stroke?
Once doctors stabilize blood flow and treat the surrounding affected areas after a stroke, patients usually see a mixture of cognitive, speech, motor or visual complications. Some of them are:
- Post stroke muscles on one side of the patient’s body may get weakened and they may witness restricted joint movement. This impairs proper walking or usual body movements.
- The patient does not feel heat, cold or pressure in certain parts of the body due to issues with sensory organs. Therapists can work with the patient to correct this.
- Patients may have bladder or bowel issues, like diarrhea, frequent urination or loss of bladder control. Experts can work with patients to correct this as well.
- Depression – Post stroke patients may be victim to bouts of depression caused by body condition. Usually, a psychiatrist or a psychologist works with such patients to correct this.
- Issues with swallowing – Due to stroke, some patients may find swallowing food or water difficult.
Close to 35% of stroke patients recover fully with no complications or very minor complications. While, 40% of patients experience moderate to severe complications. About 10% require long term care for their impairments.
Success of recovery from post stroke rehabilitation care depends on various factors such as age of patient, how early the rehabilitation was started, how early issues were diagnosed and recovery program was set and whether the patient has other medical issues.
Reaching out to rehabilitation experts is important if someone has suffered a stroke. These medical experts will help you stabilize and put you on the path to recovery early.
