  • What is rehabilitation like after a stroke?

    Hello, the rehabilitation of a patient after a stroke is based upon the patient's needs and deficits related to the CVA. In general many patients will need admission to a rehabilitation hospital or unit once they are stable to be discharged from acute hospital setting. At a rehabilitation unit they will receive physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy if needed. Goals are established for each patient depending on their current functional status and neurologic status. Patient may times will continue to require therapy at home and eventually at a therapy center. You can talk to his physician and to the person in charge of his discharge planning in the hospital to assess if a rehabilitation unit admission is the next step for your husband at this point.
