Yes, rehabilitation is highly recommended after a stroke. Stroke rehabilitation is a crucial part of recovery and helps individuals regain lost skills and improve their quality of life.
The rehabilitation process can include various therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, and cognitive therapy. These therapies aim to help with movement, strength, speech, and daily living skills.
Starting rehabilitation as soon as possible after a stroke can significantly improve outcomes and help individuals regain independence
