Pediatric Stroke Rehabilitation

Pediatric stroke rehabilitation is a specialized approach to help children recover after experiencing a stroke, which is when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring physical abilities, speech, and daily functioning. It often involves a team of healthcare professionals, including physical, occupational, and speech therapists, who create personalized therapy plans. These plans may include exercises, learning new skills, and using adaptive equipment. The goal is to support the child's development, enhance independence, and improve their quality of life, allowing them to regain as much function as possible and adapt to any changes.
