STROKE REHABILITATION

Regaining communication and swallowing abilities after a stroke requires dedicated therapy tailored to individual needs. Stroke rehabilitation focuses on restoring speech, cognitive-linguistic abilities, and swallowing function, helping survivors regain independence and improve their quality of life. Many stroke survivors experience difficulties with speaking, understanding, and processing language, making daily interactions more challenging. Speech and geriatric therapy programs address these concerns by using targeted exercises that strengthen oral muscles, improve cognitive function, and enhance verbal expression. The ability to communicate effectively plays a crucial role in emotional well-being and social engagement, making speech therapy an essential part of recovery.

Swallowing difficulties, or dysphagia, are common after a stroke, increasing the risk of choking and malnutrition. Dysphagia therapy helps strengthen the muscles used for chewing and swallowing, making eating safer and more comfortable. Exercises designed to improve swallowing coordination allow stroke survivors to enjoy meals with greater ease and reduce the risk of aspiration. Therapy sessions also educate caregivers on dietary modifications and safe swallowing techniques to support long-term recovery. Restoring speech and swallowing function enhances confidence and daily independence.
