Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation helps people with stroke re-learn skills or learn of completing tasks. Rehabilitation experts agree that it is important that stroke rehabilitation is goal-directed, focused, and includes novel and repetitive practice.
Stroke rehabilitation starts in acute care, typically within the first 24-48 hours of hospital admission. Ongoing rehabilitation can occur in inpatient, outpatient, or community settings. The duration of stay in rehabilitation programs is dependent on many factors, such as stroke severity and home supports. Stroke rehabilitation can include assessment and treatment by an interprofessional team consisting of: Clinical Nutrition, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Psychology, Recreational Therapy, Social Work, and Speech-Language Pathology.
