Stroke Rehabilitation at Home

Rehabilitating At Home

In a major study in Stroke Journal, researchers found that stroke patients who rehabilitated at home after only 10 days in the hospital had a faster recovery and, after three months, were farther advanced in assimilating back into their familiar surroundings then those who weren’t sent home.

The typical length of a hospital stay after stroke is five to seven days and during that time in hospital, the stroke care team will have identified the type of stroke, evaluated its effects and recommended a rehabilitaiton plan.

The rehabilitation plan may necessiate some time in an inpatient rehabilitation facility or a blend of being at home with visits to an outpatient rehabilitaiton clinic as required. The severity or type of stroke is the key to determining this.

The THERA-Trainer Tigo enables people with individual requirements to exercise their legs or upper body with or without motorised assistance – from their chair or wheelchair – all from the comfort of their own home.

If the rehabilitation programme recommends regular power, endurance and mobility training, the THERA-Trainer Tigo facilitates this and enables functional recovery and improved motor skills.

The THERA-Trainer Tigo allows effective exercise in all phases of rehabilitation and helps therapists and patients achieve their therapy goals.
