Rehabilitation helps stroke survivors relearn skills that are lost when part of the brain is damaged. It helps build strength, coordination, endurance and confidence of the patient. The goal of stroke rehabilitation is to help one learn how to do things that he did before the stroke. In stroke rehabilitation, one learns how to move, talk, think and care for himself. It also teaches survivors new ways of performing tasks to circumvent or compensate for any residual disabilities. Rehabilitation begun early in the acute stage after stroke optimizes the patient’s potential for functional recovery. Early mobilization prevents or minimizes the potential for secondary impairments and has several other added benefits. Learned nonuse of the hemiplegic extremities and maladaptive patterns of movement are prevented. Besides, patients who begin early with an organized plan of care show resumption of normal Activities of Daily Living (A.D.L’s) in an early stage. Rehabilitation should begin as soon as the patient is medically stabilized, often within 24 to 48 hours after the stroke. Comprehensive services for the patient with stroke are provided by a team of rehabilitation specialists including the physiatrist, physical therapist, occupational Therapist and case manager. Additional disciplines like neurophysiologist, Speech language pathologist, dietitian and ophthalmologist also take care of the patient, if need be. A dedicated team of professionals working with Stroke patient should develop an integrated plan of care with unified goals and outcomes and treatments that are mutually reinforced by all team members.
