Strokes
› Physiotherapy during the recovery for stroke victims
has also been a proven method of rehabilitation,
allowing these people to recover much more quickly
from the effects of the stroke.
› It is much more cost-effective for a stroke victim to
receive physiotherapy rehabilitation at home or
within the community rather than at the hospital.
Physiotherapy rehabilitation helps to reduce the
person’s long-term dependency on institutional care
as well as the length of time spent in the hospital. A
physiotherapist is assigned to each stroke victim as a
way of aiding their rehabilitation and working with
them to towards their “re-ablement” and recovery
from the stroke.
