Stroke Rehabilitation

A program of therapies designed to help stroke survivors regain lost abilities, relearn skills, and adapt to limitations caused by stroke. Rehabilitation typically includes physical therapy for motor function, occupational therapy for daily activities, and speech therapy for communication. Modern stroke rehabilitation increasingly incorporates technology-based interventions including exergames, virtual reality, mobile apps, and telerehabilitation platforms. For accessibility practitioners, understanding rehabilitation principles helps in designing systems that support gradual skill recovery and accommodate varying ability levels during the recovery process.
