Language and communication are fundamental aspects of human interaction. When impaired, significant emotional and social repercussions are often experienced. Frustration, embarrassment, and feelings of shame are commonly shared responses to language and communication difficulties, particularly related to speech, language or other communication barriers. This is equally true for individuals with a history of stroke that resulted in a communication and language impairment. For survivors managing symptoms of either Broca’s or Wernicke’s aphasia, difficulties with communication may result in soci ..read more

Physical and occupational therapists often employ a variety of approaches when treating a stroke survivor to recover their motor skills. The Brunnstrom Approach, developed by Swedish physical therapist Signe Brunnstrom in the 1960s, is a widely recognized and influential approach in stroke rehabilitation. It focuses on understanding and facilitating the natural progression of motor recovery. The Brunnstrom approach can also be used for evaluating motor skills prior to and during therapy to assess progress toward full recovery (1). It is important to note that this apporach is not typically ta ..read more

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) is a medical treatment that delivers the breathing of pure 100% oxygen through a specialized medical apparatus. It has long been used for the decompression of deep-sea divers to avoid developing a painful disorder termed “the bends.” Besides preventing “the bends”, HOT has been used by hospitals for over 40 years to treat non-healing wounds, serious infections, radiation injuries, and carbon monoxide poisoning. In the 1960s, HOT began to emerge as a treatment option for cerebral vascular diseases (1). Today, HOT is utilized in the treatment of a wide variety of ..read more

Recovering from a stroke usually involves participating in physical therapy (PT) and/or occupational therapy (OT), as well as follow-up medical care and social worker support. Physical and occupational therapy treatment plans for people who have recently experienced a stroke often include both passive and active exercises. Even after a mild stroke, people can still experience weakness in an extremity, such as an arm or leg. Paralysis or weakness on one side of the body is among the most common of stroke impacts, interfering with normal daily activities. In a research study led by Jayme S. Knu ..read more

Hand impairments following a stroke can impact activities of daily living, especially activities that involve reaching, grasping, and hand manipulation. However, specific fine motor exercises can be performed in order to restore hand strength and manipulation. Application of these fine motor exercises may positively impact daily, leisure, work, and self-care activities.

These structures work ..read more
