Excellent Care for Post-Stroke Recovery Treatment
When a person suffers a stroke, care is in two phases. In the first phase, doctors will carry out emergency care to stop the stroke and treat the patient. The initial care at the hospital is followed by a period of rehabilitation and recovery care to address the secondary effects. The goal of stroke recovery care is to help patients relearn some of the skills lost as a result of the stroke and provide assistive care to improve the quality of life as the patient recovers.
What Are The Chances of Stroke Recovery?
To an extent, the brain is capable of healing itself after a stroke. Given the right amount of time and rehabilitation, the patient may be able to regain cognitive abilities and speech, as well as motor skills. Statistically, about 10% of patients recover fully from a stroke while 25% recover with minor impairments. 40% of patients recover with moderate but manageable impairment. Stroke recovery care can boost the chances of patient recovery and ensure better results during rehabilitation.

Impact Of Stroke On Everyday Life
Stroke patients may experience trouble with managing their daily living activities. Simple activities like bathing, dressing, cooking, housekeeping, and driving can become difficult after a stroke. Specific symptoms of stroke such as spasticity and an inability to use one side of the body can make these regular activities difficult. Stroke may also have a cognitive effect on survivors making it difficult for them to remember dates, keep track of where items are placed, or follow directions. All of these necessitate the services of a caregiver whom they can rely on for assistance with these activities when needed.
How Long Is Stroke
Recovery Care Required?
The exact period it will take to recover from a stroke would depend on the severity of the initial stroke and the amount of damage it has caused. In some cases, patients may be able to recover within three to four months after a stroke, but recovery may be ongoing in some cases.
