Comprehensive Rehabilitation of a Patient With Right Hemiplegia: A Case Report.

Stroke is a common cause of death and neurological impairment. The largest artery in the brain is the middle cerebral artery. When this artery suffers a stroke from an abrupt interruption or cessation of blood flow, tissue dies, and severe, potentially irreversible brain damage occurs. Comprehensive assessments of stroke patients are required for proper care management, evaluation of interventions, and assessment of outcomes. With the development of new, efficient stroke treatments, it is of the utmost significance for nurses to take advantage of the chance to document stroke impairments and disabilities to track recovery and make plans for re-entry into society. We describe the case of a 50-year-old man with right hemiplegia. The brain CT made visible the left front parietotemporal region and the left insular cortex of the acute left-sided middle cerebral artery infarct. The patient received immediate medical attention. After the early stabilization of acute symptoms, physiotherapy treatment was started. The physiotherapy intervention given in this case enabled the patient to have a speedy and effective recovery. It helped improve his motor impairments and quality of life. Post-rehabilitation, the patient became independent in daily activities like brushing, bathing, eating, etc.
