Stroke rehabilitation is an important part of recovery after a stroke. The goal is to relearn basic skills that the stroke may have impaired — skills like bathing, eating, dressing and walking. It can help to do as well as you can and be as independent as possible also learn to live with the changes to your brain and body caused by the stroke. It helps to adjust to living within your home, family, and community so that you can improve the quality of life.

The severity of stroke complications and each person’s ability to recover vary widely. Researchers have found that people who participate in a focused stroke rehabilitation program perform better than most people who don’t have stroke rehabilitation
