Stroke rehabilitation

Types of stroke

Acute stroke of the brain inevitably leads to serious damage, which is expressed in various pathologies.–speech disorders, motor activity, paralysis, etc. This means that even with a favorable outcome, the disease requires long-term treatment and recovery. There are 2 types of this disease:

• Ischemia, when blood due to the overlap of the vessel ceases to flow to a certain area of the brain, which leads to a heart attack in this area.
• Hemorrhagic stroke is characterized by bleeding directly into the cranial cavity. Most often this occurs as a result of high blood pressure, vascular diseases and injuries.

For the treatment of this disease, the patient needs a hospital, and hospitalization is carried out urgently, since the most effective care will be provided in the first 3 hours after the attack. If the condition was stabilized, then in order to return to normal life, a person will need to undergo rehabilitation.

How is rehabilitation going?

Recovery and neurorehabilitation of stroke patients are supervised by qualified medical personnel. The system of working with the patient largely depends on which hemisphere is affected by a brain disaster. But there are also general procedures carried out for both types of lesion:

• Special therapeutic massage allows you to restore the sensitivity and mobility of the limbs as much as possible.
• The course of exercise therapy, which is controlled by the best doctors of our medical center, will improve the coordination and functionality of muscles.
• Rehabilitation after ischemic stroke of the left side (as well as the right) requires adherence to a diet that is made by specialists taking into account the physiological characteristics of the patient.
• Support the patient in giving up bad habits, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, potent drugs and drugs.
• Patients who have suffered a stroke on the left side are more often consulted by a psychologist, because, due to the specifics, they may not realize the seriousness of the situation.
• Rehabilitation after ischemic stroke of the right side includes classes with a speech therapist, since speech is often impaired, as well as memory and cognitive abilities are reduced.

Work should begin immediately after the acute phase, in the hospital. But it can last several months or even years, so it makes sense to contact specialized medical centers dealing with this problem.
