Stroke Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a very important part of recovery for many stroke survivors. The effects of stroke may mean that you must change, relearn or redefine how you live. Stroke rehabilitation is designed to help you return to independent living.

Rehabilitation doesn't reverse the effects of a stroke. Its goals are to build your strength, capability and confidence so you can continue your daily activities despite the effects of your stroke. Rehabilitation services may include:

• physical therapy to restore movement, balance and coordination

• occupational therapy to relearn basic skills such as bathing and dressing oneself

• speech therapy.
