Condition
STROKE
Rehabilitation for stroke in adults at HEJJE is focused on maximizing recovery, restoring independence, and enhancing quality of life following a stroke. Here’s how we approach stroke rehabilitation:
Multidisciplinary Assessment
Our team conducts a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the physical, cognitive, communication, and psychosocial needs of individuals who have experienced a stroke. This assessment helps us develop a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to each patient’s specific goals and abilities.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists work with stroke survivors to improve mobility, balance, strength, and coordination. Through targeted exercises, gait training, and functional activities, we help patients regain movement and regain independence in activities of daily living.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists focus on helping stroke survivors regain independence in self-care tasks, such as dressing, grooming, and feeding. We provide adaptive techniques, assistive devices, and environmental modifications to support safe and efficient performance of daily activities.
Speech Therapy
Speech-language pathologists address speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive deficits that may result from a stroke. We offer therapy to improve communication skills, speech articulation, language comprehension, and swallowing function, as well as cognitive-communication abilities.
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Our team provides cognitive rehabilitation interventions to address deficits in attention, memory, executive function, and problem-solving skills following a stroke. We offer cognitive training, compensatory strategies, and memory aids to support cognitive recovery and everyday functioning.
Swallowing Therapy
For individuals with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) following a stroke, we offer swallowing therapy to improve swallowing function, prevent aspiration, and reduce the risk of complications such as pneumonia. We provide exercises, diet modifications, and swallowing strategies tailored to each patient’s needs.
Psychological Support
We recognize the emotional impact of stroke and offer counseling, support groups, and coping strategies to address depression, anxiety, and adjustment difficulties. Our team provides emotional support, education, and resources to help stroke survivors and their families cope with the challenges of recovery.
Assistive Technology
We explore the use of assistive technology and adaptive equipment to enhance independence and participation in daily life activities. This may include mobility aids, communication devices, adaptive utensils, and home modifications to support functional independence.
Community Reintegration
We facilitate community reintegration and participation by providing training in community mobility, social skills, and leisure activities. We collaborate with community resources and support services to help stroke survivors transition back to community living and engage in meaningful activities.
Caregiver Education and Support
We involve caregivers in the rehabilitation process, providing education, training, and support to help them assist their loved ones with stroke recovery. We offer guidance on caregiving techniques, safety precautions, and strategies for managing caregiver stress and burnout.
At HEJJE, we are committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centred stroke rehabilitation services that empower individuals to achieve their highest level of functioning and quality of life after a stroke. Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to address the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social aspects of stroke recovery, supporting patients and their families every step of the way.
