Despite the different initial treatments the types of rehabilitation are pretty much identical. These rehabilitations involve different types of physical therapies which lead similar results based the initial severity of the stroke. These results can include regaining function to areas paralyzed in the body, regaining the ability to talk, and overall just being able to do the daily things done prior to the occurrence of the stroke such as bathing, walking, and getting dressed -- things that one takes advantage of every …show more content…
The first which observes an MRI of the brain after the stroke, the second involves nutritional modification and the third involves medicine, all to enhance stroke recovery. He chose these to evaluate the critical time period of recovery after one suffers from a stroke. There were no findings yet which is why the development of new innovation is pressing while researching strokes. For someone to have to highest chance of fully recovering finding the bests ways to evaluate how the recovery of a victim is extremely important.
The main goal of the entire stroke recovery process is to achieve the patient 's “ highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life physically, emotionally, and socially”. There is still so much unknown about the human brain, which limits doctors and researchers in their ability to treat stroke as well as other brain injuries; however, if all steps are taken beginning from the moment after a stroke that gives the victim the best chance of
