Doctors for treatment of Stroke rehabilitation

The patient’s condition depends on the localization of the stroke; the size of the focus; the presence of a hematoma, how hard and on which organs it presses.

Consequences after a stroke:

• impairment of coordination of movement;
• the development of paralysis of a part of the body or complete;
• problems with the speech apparatus;
• impairment of memory or complete loss.

Mental disorders appear in 30% of patients. They are manifested by anxiety, depression, aggression. Caused by difficulty with self-care. A person becomes irritable and loses strength when he cannot perform routine activities.

Therefore, stroke rehabilitation in other countries is aimed at restoring bodily functions and helping the patient to be as independent as possible of others in everyday life.

Minimum cost for 1 day for comparison:

• Montenegro – 35€;
• Estonia – 120 €;
• Germany – €350;
• Israel – 1200 €.

Rehabilitation after a stroke should start as early as possible: after a day or two. In many clinics, they start as early as the intensive care unit or intensive care unit.
Therefore, the earlier the patient is taken to a clinic abroad, the more likely he is to preserve his vital functions and mental state.

The patient is prescribed medication to normalize the parameters, which are constantly monitored. This forms the basis for rehabilitation techniques:

• Physical exercise.
• Kinesotherapy is the same gymnastics, with the use of balls, expanders, and simulators. Aimed not only at the musculoskeletal system, but also the restoration of trophics and metabolism, training at the neuroreflex level.
• Therapeutic massage.
• Cardio exercises aimed at maintaining the cardiovascular system.
• Hydrotherapy – exercises in the pool.
• Electromyostimulation – exposure of paralyzed muscles to low levels of current.
• Orthotics – using joint braces and correct load distribution to the extremities.

If the speech impairment pass lessons with a speech therapist. If there are problems with the mental state, the patient attends sessions with a neuropsychologist. The therapist also communicates with relatives to support them and create favorable conditions for recovery.

To stop the period of apathy and restore perception of the world, music therapy is conducted, including classical music, sounds of nature and favorite songs. And also art therapy: clay molding, painting from paints to finger painting in the sand. And they organize meetings with animals so you can play with them, pet them, and fill up with positive emotions.

Innovative technologies are used in rehabilitation in other countries. Lokomat – fixes the body and helps to move around the track and restore the musculoskeletal system even in paralyzed patients.

The verticalizer keeps the body in an upright position and reduces the load on the legs so that the person can concentrate on fine motor skills. Exoskeleton – receives impulses from the brain and performs tasks together with the fixed limbs, re-training them.

A VR picture-assisted system helps train movement, cognitive function, and balance holding. As well as training intellectual abilities with exercises and tasks on the devices.
