A stroke victim may be able to benefit from physiotherapy that lasts longer than usual, in order to maximize the opportunity for rehabilitation.
Strokes are brain tissue damage caused by a bloodclot or burst blood vessel. This can lead to people being unable to use their arms or legs. People usually recover some function with time, especially if they receive physiotherapy. The brain is believed to play a role in this phenomenon.
