Stroke patients often incur massive damage to
their brain cells. They lose their ability to
perform various functions on their
own. Physiotherapy for stroke is one of the most
effective cures. Stroke can cause certain
weakness. It also can trigger partial or complete
paralysis, which is known as hemiplegia. This
makes it difficult or sometimes impossible for
the patient to move his/her limbs. The balance
and the posture of the patients get disrupted and
that is why, along with other medicines,
therapeutic help is also necessary. The role of
physiotherapy in curing stroke patients is
immense. Most importantly, the physiotherapy
sessions aimed at the recovery of these patients,
are focused on strengthening their limbs and
enabling them to make movements again. This not
only helps them (the patients) to regain strength
but also at the same time, it helps them to gain
back their confidence.

There are a number of ways by which home based
physiotherapy can actually benefit stroke
patients recover faster. In comparison
to hospital based rehabilitation, home based
physiotherapy offers various levels of
advantages. A study conducted by Leigh Hale in
the year 2013, shows that there are a number of
ways by which home based stroke rehabilitation
and physiotherapy treatment of patients help them
recover quickly when compared to the hospital
based treatment.

One of the major advantages enjoyed by home
based physiotherapy patients is that they do not
have to travel in order to go to the outpatient
service provider. It is not possible for a stroke
patient to travel all on his/her own to avail the
service. For that reason, the patients need to
rely on some family member or hospital supported
transportation systems to avail the
physiotherapy. On the other hand, home based
stroke patients do not need to travel. This
allows them to enjoy intensive physiotherapy
sessions at the comfort of their home.

The result of the study shows that stroke
patients who have received physiotherapy at home,
enjoyed more emotional support than the patients
who have gone to the hospitals for the cure. The
patients who have received home-based
physiotherapy were able to be more open about
their problems and they did not feel the need to
suppress any emotions. This helped them to
recover faster as they were to start thinking of
getting out of bed and start walking earlier than
the patients who received physiotherapy at the
hospitals.

Home-based physiotherapy for stroke
patients allowed them to stay in touch with their
family members. They did not feel isolated and
this connection allowed them the opportunity to
recover with much more confidence. Family support
plays a very critical role in the overall process
of recovery for a stroke patient and availing
physiotherapy at home makes it possible for them
to get that support. Home based physiotherapy is
mostly aimed at making the patient active as soon
as possible.
