Re: stroke rehab

Hi fire ice,
We are trying to put the patient in an anti-spastic pattern first.
Next,STABILITY is important than strengthening.Another point is that, CREATING AWARENESS OF THE BODY PARTS.Each time the patient should know he has to use the affected side more to initiate a movement.when this is achieved strengthening can be started.
