Specialist Assessment
Neurological evaluation of the affected functions, imaging review, and individualized assessment of post-stroke deficits.
Rehabilitation Approaches
Intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and cognitive therapy, tailored to each patient's deficits.
Limitations of Treatment
Recovery varies widely by individual and depends on the severity and location of brain damage. Rehabilitation supports functional recovery but does not guarantee full restoration of lost abilities.
Medication-based treatment is separate from rehabilitation services. NeuralCIM® is included only where the specific indication is supported by reliable evidence and current authorization.
