In West Jakarta, new hope awaits with the Integrated Neurorehabilitation program at EMC Grha Kedoya Hospital. This article will open your eyes to the importance of neurorehabilitation and how we can help you or a loved one achieve an optimal quality of life.
Why is Neurorehabilitation Important After a Stroke?
When a stroke occurs, brain cells can be damaged, causing various problems such as paralysis, difficulty speaking, memory problems, and balance problems. Without proper intervention, the effects of a stroke can be permanent and severely limit daily activities.
This is where neurorehabilitation plays a crucial role. Neurorehabilitation is a comprehensive program designed to help patients regain lost function or mitigate the impact of brain damage. The goal is not just treatment, but also training the brain and body to adapt, relearn skills, and maximize recovery potential.
What are the components of neurorehabilitation at EMC Grha Kedoya Hospital?
EMC Grha Kedoya Hospital understands that every stroke patient has unique needs. Therefore, we offer an integrated neurorehabilitation program involving a dedicated multidisciplinary team:
- Neurologist: Monitors the patient's neurological condition and adjusts the rehabilitation plan.
- Medical Rehabilitation Specialist (Sp.KFR): Designs individual rehabilitation programs that include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
- Physiotherapist: Helps restore muscle strength, balance, coordination, and movement ability.
- Occupational Therapist: Trains patients to perform daily activities independently, such as dressing, eating, or bathing.
- Speech Therapist: Helps with difficulties speaking (aphasia) and swallowing (dysphagia).
- Clinical Psychologist: Supporting the mental health of patients and families in coping with life changes after a stroke.
