How does a little gentle help enable a stroke patient's limbs learn to be mobile again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: First, it's important to maintain flexibility and mobility. You need to help them maintain range of motion as stroke patients frequently have increased tone which needs to be relaxed. Secondarily, it is important to help the brain re-learn motions and motor functionality.
