Here are some key components of post-stroke rehabilitation:

Assessment: PTs conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the individual's physical abilities, limitations, and specific needs. This assessment includes evaluating strength, balance, coordination, range of motion, and functional mobility.

Goal Setting: Together with the patient and their family, PTs establish realistic and achievable goals for rehabilitation, focusing on improving mobility, strength, and independence in daily activities.

Therapeutic Exercises: Tailored exercise programs are designed to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance. These exercises may target specific muscle groups affected by the stroke and help retrain the brain and body to perform functional movements.

Gait Training: PTs work on restoring walking abilities through gait training, which may involve using assistive devices, practicing weight shifting, and improving balance and coordination.

Balance and Coordination Activities: Strategies to enhance balance and coordination are critical in preventing falls and promoting safety during mobility.

Functional Training: PTs help patients relearn daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and cooking through task-specific training, promoting independence.

Education: PTs provide education to patients and their families about the stroke, recovery process, and strategies for managing any challenges they may face.

Home Exercise Programs: PTs may develop home exercise programs to encourage ongoing practice and reinforcement of skills learned during therapy sessions.
