STROKE REHABILITATION

Rehabilitation after a stroke at the NORMAN Rehabilitation & Medical Center means intensive therapeutic programs aimed at achieving maximum improvement for each patient.

With over 30 years of experience, we have demonstrated that both early and late-stage rehabilitation can significantly improve quality of life by partially or completely mitigating the effects of a stroke. This success depends on selecting therapeutic methods tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

The consistently proven effectiveness of our stroke rehabilitation programs offers hope to those affected, showing that regaining movement abilities and returning to a healthier life is possible.

We pride ourselves on creating a warm, homely atmosphere that allows patients to feel comfortable and at ease. Our modern rehabilitation center, designed with living areas that substitute the feel of a family home, avoids the sterile character of a hospital. This approach enhances patient comfort and contributes to more effective rehabilitation outcomes.

Our approach is founded on the maximum individualization of therapy. When combined with our innovative SPIDER verticalizer device, we unlock each patient’s full potential, maximizing their progress.

We understand the importance of supporting patients and their families. Relatives are encouraged to observe rehabilitation sessions, ask questions, and learn the procedures used with their loved ones. This involvement helps families better understand and contribute to the recovery process.

From 2 to 8 qualified therapists per patient

Each patient’s rehabilitation is supported by a team of therapists, not just one. This collaborative approach significantly increases the chances of effective recovery after a stroke.

Face-to-Face Therapy

Rehabilitation sessions are conducted one-on-one, with only the therapist, the patient, and their caregiver present in the room. We ensure all sessions are entirely individual to maximize focus and results.

Innovative SPIDER Device Therapy

Our SPIDER THERAPY methodology provides patients with a sense of confidence and accelerates the rehabilitation process. This cutting-edge approach is a cornerstone of our stroke recovery programs.

Tailored Therapeutic Plans

Recognizing that every stroke patient has unique needs, we design customized rehabilitation programs for each individual.

Over 3.5 Hours of Daily Individual Therapy

Patients participate in 5 individual neurological rehabilitation sessions (45 minutes each) from Monday to Friday, and 2 sessions on Saturdays.

Rehabilitation after a stroke in a cozy environment.

Our center is designed to feel like home, fostering a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. This homely environment promotes better focus, relaxation, and ultimately, more efficient rehabilitation progress.

Comprehensive Stroke Rehabilitation at the NORMAN Rehabilitation & Medical Center

Rehabilitation for patients with conditions such as hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and accompanying challenges—including limb paresis, dyslexia, dysgraphia, impaired memory, and coordination or balance issues—requires a professional, consistent, and compassionate approach. Incorrect or inadequate rehabilitation, such as improperly performed exercises, can lead to complications, including seizures.

Additionally, it is crucial to consider that strokes often affect individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, such as:

• Atherosclerosis

• Coronary heart disease

• Cardiopulmonary failure

• High blood pressure

These conditions require pharmacological treatment and significantly influence the rehabilitation process.

Our innovative SPIDER Therapy makes post-stroke rehabilitation safer for patients with coexisting medical conditions. This is because SPIDER Therapy minimizes the need for strenuous physical exertion. The workload is carefully managed to avoid general complications, such as elevated blood pressure or cardiopulmonary failure.

The SPIDER system also helps patients reconnect with their bodies. By using asymmetrical fastening, the therapy adjusts the alignment of the impaired side of the body to mirror the healthy side, improving the patient’s awareness of their movements and promoting functional recovery. This unique approach ensures safer and more effective rehabilitation for all patients.

Individualized Stroke Rehabilitation at the NORMAN Centre

At the NORMAN Centre, rehabilitation after a stroke is tailored to each patient on an individual basis. Every patient is carefully observed to ensure the therapy is maximally personalized. Based on this observation, a precise plan and scope of exercises are developed to address their specific needs.

To maintain the highest quality of care, we limit the number of patients participating in therapy at any given time to no more than a dozen. This approach allows us to dedicate maximum attention to each individual, prioritizing quality and effectiveness over quantity.

Our occupational therapists are highly trained in neurodevelopmental techniques such as NDT (Neuro-Developmental Treatment), craniosacral therapy, and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation). These methods are widely recognized and effectively applied in leading rehabilitation centers.

Our therapeutic team also includes specialists such as:

• Speech therapists: Focused on aiding patients with aphasia through tailored logotherapy programs.

• Pedagogy specialists: Supporting cognitive and developmental needs.

• Occupational therapists: Enhancing daily functional abilities.

• EEG Biofeedback neurotherapists: Assisting with neurological optimization and recovery.

At the NORMAN Centre, we help our patients rediscover independence, offering them and their loved ones a new path forward to a better quality of life.

Comfortable and Homely Environment for Patients and Guardians

At our center, we strive to create a comfortable and homely environment for our patients and their guardians. This is achieved not only through thoughtfully designed facilities but also through fostering a friendly atmosphere and positive relationships between patients, staff, and fellow patients.

Each patient is provided with a private room featuring an en-suite bathroom. Patients often stay with their guardians or family members, ensuring they have a secure and restful space to relax after rehabilitation sessions. Each room is equipped with a television and internet access for added comfort and convenience.

Our rooms are located on both the ground floor and the first floor, accessible by elevator. Every room includes a special bed for the patient, with electric adjustments to meet individual needs and enhance comfort.

The facility also features shared spaces, including a spacious living room, a dining room, and a kitchen where freshly prepared meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are served daily. This setup ensures a warm and inviting environment that feels like home, supporting both the physical and emotional well-being of our patients and their families.

• Can Rehabilitation After a Stroke Be Accompanied by a Guardian?
  Yes, stroke patients who are not fully independent often arrive at our center accompanied by a close family member or caregiver acting as a guardian. Guardians are welcome to participate in the rehabilitation process by observing sessions and learning how to assist with activities at home after returning. This involvement is crucial for continuity and maximizing the effectiveness of therapy.

• Do You Accept Bedridden Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation?
  Unlike most private rehabilitation centers, we work with bedridden patients as well. We believe in giving a chance to anyone who does not have contraindications to physical rehabilitation. Our extensive experience shows that in 90% of bedridden patients, significant improvements in health can be achieved through our tailored rehabilitation programs.
