Functional Stroke
Functional Stroke Rehabilitation Home Care Service
Introduction to the Therapy
After a stroke, a person experiences many changes at the physical, mental and emotional levels. The goal of Functional Stroke Rehabilitation is to help the patient regain independence, improve mobility and make daily activities easier to perform. This treatment approach focuses on scientific physiotherapy techniques along with regular practice so that coordination between the body and brain can be redeveloped. Through Ayursh Stroke Rehabilitation, we strive to transform the feeling of helplessness into confidence and recovery.

1. Motor Skills and Daily Activity-Based Training
Patients are guided to practice daily activities such as walking, sitting, standing, and dressing. When necessary, electrical stimulation is also used to activate muscles and support recovery.
2. Therapy to Increase Activity of the Affected Limbs
The support of the healthy limb is gradually reduced while encouraging the affected arm or leg to perform more work, helping to slowly improve its functionality.
3. Neuromuscular Training
This process helps re-establish proper coordination between the brain and muscles, allowing movements to become more controlled and natural.
4. Balance and Gait Improvement Exercises
Patients are trained to stand, walk and change direction safely, which helps reduce the risk of falls.

Patients are taught how to move from bed to chair, climb stairs, and perform daily activities independently without assistance.
