THE LOCATION OF THE BLOOD VESSEL THAT IS
AFFECTED•
THE AREA AND EXTENT OF THE BRAIN INJURY
THE TYPE OF STROKE (ISCHEMIC VS.
HEMORRHAGIC)

6. 3. HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
It happens when a blood vessel
bursts (ruptures) in the brain.
The rupture keeps the surrounding
areas of the brain from getting
needed oxygen.
1. ISCHEMIC STROKE
Occurs when a clot blocks a vessel
supplying blood to the brain.
Most common type of stroke.

STROKE REHABILITATION AND
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Early involvement and assessment of the patients have to be done by
the physiotherapist. Better outcome will be there if the patient
undergoes early mobilization.
Patient's need will determine the type and intensity of the therapy.

10. TWO COMPONENTS IN THE
REHABILITATION PROGRAM
1. Maintenance of physical integrity and minimizing
complications which prevent or prolongs
functional return.
This measure will begin immediately post stroke.
2. Restorative treatment which will promote
functional recovery.
It begins when neurologically and medically the patient is stable and
has physical and cognitive ability to actively participate in the
rehabilitation program.

11. WHY REHABILITATION IS
IMPORTANT ?
The rehabilitation and support a survivor receives can greatly influence
health outcomes and recovery.
For the first three months after a stroke, the brain is much like a new brain.It’s
ready to learn, ready to make new connections. This ability for our brains to
adjust is known as neuroplasticity and it plays a vital role in recovery.
Stroke rehabilitation includes a sustained and coordinated effort from a
large team,
Communication and coordination among all these team members while
working toward achieving the patient’s goals are key to success in post-stroke
rehabilitation and recovery.
