Stroke Rehabilitation
Comprehensive stroke rehabilitation programme combining physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and neuropsychology to maximise recovery after stroke.
Recovery
3 months – 2 years
Cost Range
₹50,000 – ₹3,00,000 per month
Stroke Rehabilitation: Reclaiming Independence
After the acute phase of stroke management, rehabilitation is the cornerstone of recovery. Neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new pathways — allows significant recovery when intensive, goal-directed therapy is started early.
Components of Stroke Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy
- Mobilisation and gait training
- Balance and coordination exercises
- Upper limb rehabilitation
- Robotic-assisted gait training (Lokomat, ReWalk)
- Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
Speech & Language Therapy
- Aphasia (language disorders) rehabilitation
- Dysarthria (speech muscle weakness) treatment
- Dysphagia (swallowing) management — critical for safety
Occupational Therapy
- Activities of daily living (ADL) retraining
- Cognitive rehabilitation
- Adaptive equipment prescription
- Home environment modification assessment
Neuropsychology
- Cognitive deficits assessment and treatment
- Post-stroke depression and anxiety management
- Driving assessment after recovery
Rehabilitation Settings
| Setting | Intensity | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Acute Hospital Rehab | 3+ hours/day | Early intensive phase |
| Inpatient Rehab Centre | 1.5–3 hours/day | Sub-acute phase |
| Day Rehabilitation | 2–4 hours/day | Independent mobility but needs therapy |
| Home-Based Rehab | 1 hour/day + | Stable patients; Careforyou home nursing |
| Telerehabilitation | Remote sessions | Follow-up and maintenance |
Careforyou Home Nursing for Stroke Patients
We provide trained stroke rehabilitation nurses and physiotherapists for home-based recovery programmes — ideal for patients who have been discharged from hospital but still require supervised care.
FAQ
Stroke Rehabilitation — Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after stroke should rehabilitation begin?
Early mobilisation (within 24–48 hours of stroke, if medically stable) is recommended. Intensive rehabilitation improves outcomes — the brain is most plastic in the first 3–6 months after stroke.
Can stroke patients fully recover?
Recovery depends on stroke severity, location, and promptness of treatment. Many patients make significant or full recovery with intensive rehabilitation. Even partial recovery meaningfully improves quality of life.
What therapies are included in stroke rehab?
Standard programmes include physiotherapy (mobility, balance), occupational therapy (daily living skills), speech-language therapy (communication, swallowing), and neuropsychology (cognition, mood). Some centres offer robotic-assisted gait training and constraint-induced movement therapy.
