Recovering from a Brain stroke requires a significant amount of Will, Dedication and expert support over a long term.
It’s never easy, but not impossible!
At Krumur Clinic, we attempt to achieve specific goals and milestones revolving around rebuilding the motor skills one looses when a stroke affects a part of their brain. Regaining independence and improving one’s quality of life is the ultimate aim.
In medical terms we attempt to achieve Neuroplasticity or Re – Learning in the Central Nervous System through programmes focussed on Mobility, Stability and Activation of the entire Neuromuscular system.
Researchers around the world have found that people who participate in a focused stroke rehabilitation program perform better than most people who don’t have stroke rehabilitation.
A typical Phase wise plan for an ongoing rehabilitation programme at Krumur is described below
· Date of Stroke– 24th Jan 2020
