What is cerebrovascular disease?

Cerebrovascular disease, also known as stroke, is classified into types such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc. The aftereffects of paralysis and prognosis vary depending on the location in the brain where the stroke occurs and the extent of the invasion.


Stroke rehabilitation

We will check the time when the stroke occurred, brain images, etc., and compare them with an assessment of actual physical function.
First, we evaluate the degree of aftereffects of paralysis and remaining functions, which allows us to predict the prognosis. By sharing the rehabilitation process and physical function issues, we aim to improve paralysis and acquire daily living activities. The emphasis will be on how much the paralyzed side of the body can be strengthened and exercised in daily life.If this is difficult, we can increase the degree of independence in daily life by adjusting the environment, such as by using braces or self-help devices.


　
1. Medical Interview

We will ask about when the illness first started, your general physical condition, and your living environment. We will also ask about your current concerns, areas you would like to improve, and your goals.
　
2. Physical function evaluation

We will identify the cause and problem by conducting muscle strength tests, nerve and sensory tests, and movement analysis such as posture and gait.

3. 　Program planning from initial evaluation

We will identify problems through a physical function assessment and present a rehabilitation program that includes a prognosis prediction. We will show you the specific period and the extent to which you can achieve your goals, and share the rehabilitation process with you.

4. 　Rehabilitation

We actually provide treatment and movement training to address physical issues. In the case of cerebrovascular disease, we provide treatment and exercise on average half each. By improving paralysis while strengthening muscles and repeating more practical movement training, we will ensure that the goal is achieved.

5. 　Reassess and review progress

Rehabilitation is carried out while constantly reviewing the results. Progress is checked using objective indicators such as the degree of improvement in paralysis, walking speed, etc. Sometimes it is necessary to reset goals and revise the rehabilitation program through discussion.
