This film is intended for patients and their loved ones in order to inform them about therapies and activities related to rehabilitation after a stroke. We present the situation of a patient but the cases are all different. The goal of rehabilitation after a stroke is to promote recovery, to allow adaptation to the sometimes inevitable after-effects, and to prevent complications. A whole team of health professionals surround the patient: doctor, nurse and nursing assistant, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, neuropsychologist, social worker, dietician, sports teacher. After a stroke, rehabilitation is essential to give the patient every chance of recovering the impaired functions. Even if some after-effects are inevitable, the goal is to achieve the greatest possible independence and autonomy. Outpatient rehabilitation is sometimes necessary after hospitalization. Motivation is a key factor, do not hesitate to ask the caregivers any questions you want about your rehabilitation or that of your loved ones.
