Post Stroke Rehabilitation and Therapy in Markham

Physical therapy is a key component of post-stroke rehabilitation at our Markham clinic, and can help individuals regain lost motor function, improve strength and endurance, and develop compensatory strategies to manage any permanent deficits.

Here are some ways in which physical therapy can help with post-stroke rehabilitation:

Assessment

Dr Bennett will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the individual’s physical function, including strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion. This will help identify areas of dysfunction and guide the development of an individualized treatment plan.

Gait training

Many individuals who have suffered a stroke experience difficulty with walking and may require assistance from a walker or wheelchair. Dr Bennett can help improve gait mechanics and train individuals to walk safely and independently.

Strength and endurance training

Physical therapy can help individuals regain lost strength and endurance following a stroke, which can improve overall function and quality of life.

Balance and coordination training

Individuals who have suffered a stroke may experience difficulty with balance and coordination, which can increase the risk of falls. Therapeutic exercises will be implemented at our Markham rehabilitation clinic to help improve balance and coordination.

Sensory integration exercises

Sensory integration exercises are designed to help the brain and nervous system process sensory information more effectively, improving nervous system function and reducing symptoms.

Motor rehabilitation exercises

Motor rehabilitation exercises are designed to help individuals regain lost motor function and develop compensatory strategies to manage any permanent deficits.

Cognitive rehabilitation

These exercises are designed to help individuals recover cognitive function, including memory, attention, and executive function.

Overall, physical therapy plays an important role in post-stroke rehabilitation and therapy, helping individuals regain lost function and improve their quality of life.
