Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke rehabilitation: Survivors of stroke need to talk about their sexuality after their treatment. Health professionals rarely address a stroke patient's sexuality during his/her rehabilitation period, according to a new study.

Scientists have created a hands-free musical instrument that allows people to play music with their thoughts, and may help empower and rehabilitate patients with motor disabilities such as stroke, spinal cord injury and amputation.

Researchers have developed a new robotic tool that may in combination with standard rehabilitation programme improve the mobility of patients surviving a stroke.

Researchers have utilised motion-capture tech from the video game industry to help analyse the movements of stroke patients in minute detail.

Home-based exercise managed by a physical therapist is just as effective at restoring stroke patients' walking ability as a formal rehabilitation program using a specialised treadmill.

A depressed emotional state - feelings of hopelessness and apathy - could have a direct effect on your physical health.

Starting rehabilitation within 24 hours after a person has a stroke appears to be safe and beneficial.

A traditional rehabilitation program, which incorporates mental practice of tasks during therapy improves outcomes in patients with chronic stroke.

Alternating application of heat and cold (thermal stimulation) to the hand and wrist of stroke survivors helps to rehabilitate their paralysed upper limbs.

Moderately impaired stroke patients do better with early supported discharge from the hospital and continued rehabilitation at home.

Stroke patients can improve their endurance, balance and mobility if they participate in a structured exercise programme after completing in-hospital rehabilitation, new research suggests. Rehabilitation care after stroke is highly variable and increasingly shorter in duration.
