Stroke Rehabilitation at Helen Hayes Hospital Part One

Rosa experienced a left medullary/brainstem stroke. Strokes in the brainstem can affect a person’s ability to swallow,
their coordination for mobility tasks and their ability to balance.


Physical therapy for brainstem strokes focuses on balance re-education, including improving trunk control, single leg stance activities, and dynamic walking activities
to improve a patient’s overall balance in order to foster their recovery and return to independence.
