Stroke, Symptoms, Stroke Treatment and Rehabilitation

Stroke Rehabilitation

self-care skills such as feeding, grooming, bathing and dressing

mobility skills such as transferring, walking or self-propelling a wheelchair

communication skills in speech and language

cognitive skills such as memory or problem-solving

social skills for interacting with other people

Services offered during rehabilitation may include:

rehabilitation nursing

physical therapy

speech-language pathology

audiology

recreational therapy

nutritional care

rehabilitation counseling

social work

psychiatry/psychology

chaplaincy

patient/family education

support groups

vocational evaluation

driver's training
