7 Stages Of Stroke Recovery

Stroke recovery can happen in stages, from the initial response to regaining independence, each step bringing new challenges and milestones. Find out more in our latest blog.

Enhancing Movement

Mobility loss due to a stroke is improved by modern apparatus designed to make movement easier. This benefits your body by maintaining strength, or flexibility and allows your mind to relearn.

There can be cases where exoskeletons, or assisted movement machines would help, approaches often used after stroke include:

  • Anti-gravity, to reduce impact and improve healing.
  • Hydrotherapy, using the power of water to assist.
  • An electrical current, to stimulate muscle groups.

Our physiotherapists will often work with you directly, to improve range of motion and body strength. Occupational therapists assist with relearning the skills that are important for life.

The same can apply to speech & language therapy. This also helps with cognitive abilities, alongside the latest, stimulating environments

Intelligent Virtual Reality

Video games have been popular for decades, so it was only a matter of time before stroke survivors began exploring them. What followed was an unexpected breakthrough, beyond the fun, many noticed improvements in concentration, spatial awareness, and problem-solving skills.

Neuroscientists saw the potential and developed purpose-built digital therapies like Mind Motion GO. This interactive, game-based system helps stroke patients relearn movement in an engaging way.

Other advanced tools, such as Tyrosolution Pable and Tymo, provide real-time movement feedback, improving balance, posture, and core strength to support arm and hand function.
