Stroke is a neurological condition that affects millions of people every year. It can cause paralysis, speech problems, and loss of movement and sensation.
The aim of physical therapy is to have the stroke patient relearn simple motor activities such as walking, sitting, standing, lying down, and the process of eating. The therapist helps the patient to regain independence by teaching them how to perform these tasks with minimal help from others.
Physical therapists also use different types of therapies including occupational therapy in order to improve a patient's quality of life by improving their ability to do daily tasks such as dressing themselves or cooking meals, etc
