How to get better faster and more
cost-effective after a stroke
• Studies tell us that accessing physiotherapy post-stroke contributes
to improved and positive outcomes for patients. Evidence points
strongly towards intensive, highly repetitive, task-oriented and task-
specific training. According to a study observing a healthcare trust
from the UK that has implemented an integrated service model,
physiotherapy has made great strides with stroke patients.
• By having a professional not only support and guide you on the
medical side, but also acting as a life coach, the program aims to
empower the patient. Thus increasing the chances of a faster
healing, optimizing and restoring the body’s functions and as well
help re-integrate them in society. Incredible numbers show a lot of
promise. Hospitalization time decreased by six days, equating in
£833,700 saved. Patients also benefitted from £75,500 cut from
their medical bills, with 13% of them returning home.
