stroke recovery
Regaining lost function
Stroke recovery is the process of regaining physical, cognitive, and emotional function after a stroke has damaged brain tissue.
Recovery typically involves rehabilitation therapies—physical, occupational, and speech—aimed at helping patients relearn skills or develop compensatory strategies.
The extent and speed of recovery vary widely depending on the stroke's severity and location, the patient's age and overall health, and how quickly treatment began.
