Stroke Rehabilitation

Find your path forward after stroke.

QLI offers a comprehensive, specialized post-acute rehabilitation program for non-geriatric individuals recovering from cerebrovascular accident (CVA)—more commonly referred to as stroke.

Treating injury from stroke after the acute rehabilitation hospital level means prioritizing functional restoration and maximizing independence. This requires customized therapy programming that addresses the unique nuances of each stroke injury as well as the individual needs of every client.

Strokes, much like brain injuries, vary widely, often presenting diverse and complex symptoms based on the region of the brain affected. To tailor rehabilitation to the individual, we bring to bear a highly collaborative network of clinical experts from a range of clinical disciplines. Together, our clinical teams assess each client’s physical and cognitive readiness, behavioral and emotional functioning, and short- and long-term goals—then proceed to introduce a range of specialized technology and modalities to facilitate optimal recovery.

At the center of every stroke rehabilitation program is neuroplasticity—the learning process that allows the brain to change in response to targeted repetition. Therapy, as a result, is a tightly supported endeavor, where clinicians provide crucial support as clients perform real-world repetitions of skills central to lifelong success.

Formal therapy addresses the function of the brain and the wellness of the body. Strength, conditioning, coordination, and mobility training are central pillars of our physical and occupational therapy efforts. Our speech-language pathologists provide guided coaching for impaired communication skills or affected cognitive abilities. Programs can, and often do, utilize an assortment of advanced rehabilitation technology—like exoskeletons, anti-gravity gait training systems, and virtual reality.

But just as common, and just as integral, is the process of generalizing skills learned in therapy for use within real-world environments.

Our goal with each individual is to move rehabilitation outside the therapy lab, connecting an individual’s growing function to familiar environments and responsibilities. This can occur inside the home, at the workplace, or wherever one might enjoy your favorite pastime.

Whether your goals are to make medical progress, recover physical strength and function, improve communication abilities, strengthen cognitive skills, or to simply find a meaningful path forward in life, QLI’s specialized rehabilitation program can be an invaluable step along your path to the best possible outcomes.
