In-Home Physiotherapy for Stroke Rehab
Stroke rehabilitation is a critical aspect of recovery for individuals who have experienced a stroke. The primary goal is to help patients regain as much function and independence as possible, improving their quality of life. Physiotherapists play a crucial role in this multidisciplinary process, using their expertise to design and implement personalized rehabilitation programs.
Our Technique for Stroke Rehab
The rehabilitation process begins with a comprehensive assessment conducted by a physiotherapist to assess any issues with balance or coordination, range of motion, and ability to perform daily tasks. Based on the initial assessment, physiotherapists develop individualized treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient. These plans typically include a combination of the following approaches.
- Exercise Therapy
- Neuromuscular Reeducation
- Manual therapy
- Balance and Gait Training
- Stretches and exercises to improve movement and strength
- Electrical stimulation
- Education on condition management
What To Expect
- The physiotherapist will come to your home, office or any other location that is convenient to you!
- The therapist will need to ask you questions about your health history and current problem or injury. You can expect this to take 10 to 20 minutes.
- As physiotherapists are licensed-health care professionals and are legally required to take real-time notes for medical-legal purposes, the therapist will be typing on a computer or tablet using our secure electronic medical records system during your session. The servers for our electronic records system are in Canada.
- Please have ready any doctor’s referral note, diagnostic imaging reports or your list of medications handy.
- The therapist may need about 4 x 8 feet of space to set up the portable bed to provide a thorough assessment.
- The therapist will need to put their hands on you. It is a good idea to wear shorts or a sleeveless top to provide the best assessment and treatment possible.
- The therapist will likely prescribe home exercises and make recommendations for making you feel better. It will be important for you to follow this advice for achieving optimal outcome.
- The assessment session will last 1 to 1.25 hours. Treatment sessions are 50 minutes to 1 hour long.
