Optimizing Recovery Post-Stroke: Evidence-Based Physical TherapyInterventions for Motor Function Restoration and Long-TermMobility Improvements

Abstract

Stroke is still only one of the major causes of disability, affecting motor function and mobility in particular. Applying evidence from previous studies,physical therapy has been shown to have promising possibilities of regaining mobility for the affected person. The physiotherapy approaches covered in this paper are task-oriented training, CIMT, and robotic-assisted interventions, supported by literature. Neuroplasticity principles are incorporated alongside other progressive practices, together with new technologies, in determining the best outcomes. Such findings also emphasize the significance of immediate treatment, individualized treatment strategy, and strict compliance with the aftercare program. This paper offers a broad review of the literature pre-2020.It is intended for clinicians, caregivers, and patients to offer practical recommendations based on the available evidence regarding ways to improve stroke survivors’ FD and QOL.
