What it means
Stroke rehabilitation is a coordinated set of therapies designed to help stroke survivors regain lost abilities and adapt to any lasting impairments. It typically combines physical therapy to rebuild strength and coordination, occupational therapy to relearn daily tasks, and speech therapy to address communication or swallowing difficulties. Rehabilitation may begin in the hospital within days of the stroke and continue at a rehabilitation facility, outpatient clinic, or at home. Early and intensive rehabilitation improves recovery outcomes. The brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections — called neuroplasticity — is the foundation of stroke recovery.
