İnmeli Hastalarda Hareket Fonksiyonuna Yönelik Rehabilitatif Yaklaşımlar

Stroke, associated with impaired cerebral blood flow, causes various levels of mobility and sensory problems, swallowing disorders, cognitive and emotional changes, and communication problems. Rehabilitative practices applied to stroke patients contribute to the recovery of the patient's functionality, increase the level of independence and quality of life, and reduce the burden of caregivers. Rehabilitative practices also support physical, emotional and social domains. Along with developing technology, current rehabilitative approaches have emerged in addition to range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises in order to control deficits that occur in individuals with stroke and to be more active and independent in preforming activities of daily living. New approaches such as mirror therapy, biofeedback therapy, robot-assisted therapy, restrictive-compulsory motion therapy, virtual reality therapy, telerehabilitation and transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy have been used for the purpose of rehabilitation of movement related to the problems in stroke. Thanks to these approaches, stroke patients can begin the rehabilitation program at early stage, and motor motion skills and quality of life are supported via technological developments. In this review, current rehabilitative approaches applied in individuals with stroke are discussed.
