Stroke is a medical emergency that can cause sudden loss of motor function, speech, and cognition. While emergency care saves lives, early rehabilitation is pivotal for restoring independence. SalwaCare\u2019s multidisciplinary team is equipped to start the recovery journey as soon as the patient is medically stable.<\/p>\n

The Critical Window: First 72 Hours<\/h2>\n

Research shows that initiating therapy within the first 72\u202fhours reduces complications such as contractures, pressure ulcers, and depression. Our physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech\u2011language pathologists collaborate to assess the patient\u2019s needs promptly.<\/p>\n

Key Rehabilitation Components<\/h2>\n

1. Mobilization and Positioning<\/h3>\n

Gentle passive movements prevent joint stiffness and promote circulation. Early ambulation, when safe, improves cardiovascular health and reduces the risk of secondary strokes.<\/p>\n

2. Swallowing Assessment<\/h3>\n

Speech\u2011language pathologists evaluate dysphagia to prevent aspiration pneumonia. Tailored swallowing exercises are introduced early, often within the first day.<\/p>\n

3. Cognitive and Communication Therapy<\/h3>\n

Even mild aphasia benefits from early speech therapy. Cognitive drills help maintain attention, memory, and problem\u2011solving abilities.<\/p>\n

Family Involvement and Education<\/h2>\n

We empower families with training on safe transfers, assistive device use, and home modifications. Knowledgeable caregivers reduce readmission rates and support sustained progress.<\/p>\n
