Stroke is a frightening experience that may have a large impact on daily activities. Over half of the survivors are left unable to move their affected leg, arm, or fingers. After 6 months, many still require some level of assistance. But the brain is a remarkable organ. Regular physical and cognitive activity can improve parts of the brain that have been injured. Stroke rehabilitation relies on this ability and helps the brain relearn skills that were initially lost. Thus, effective rehabilitation is key for stroke survivors to regain or improve their ability to carry out usual daily activities.
