CVA rehabilitation is crucial for anyone who has had a CVA (cerebrovascular accident<\/a>). When a CVA happens, it\u2019s not always so clear what\u2019s going on or how to deal with it \u2013 there\u2019s often a lot of chaos, and it happens very quickly. Fortunately, if you\u2019re prepared and you know what to expect, you have a much greater chance of preventing considerable brain damage. Here are fifteen tips anyone everyone should know when dealing with a CVA:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s all about neuroplasticity. The brain has an amazing quality to make up for its own losses \u2013 that means if there\u2019s damage in one area, the brain can actually use another area to re-learn what was lost. The key is to keep the brain active and moving through cva rehabilitation.<\/li>\n
  2. Repetition is key. The way to retrain brain activity is to constantly repeat, repeat, repeat. This goes for all types of brain activity, from memory to motion \u2013 repeating physical exercises, repeating tasks, repeating words.<\/li>\n
  3. There are all kinds of side effects, and you need to learn them up so you know what to expect and what the timelines are.<\/li>\n
  4. The left side and right side of the brain have different functions, so where the stroke happened will determine the kind of loss that occurs. The left side is associated with language, so if that side was affected, the language center will be more severely affected and the patient is likely to have trouble with speech.<\/li>\n
  5. Keep going, even when the progress seems painstakingly slow. CVA rehabilitation is a long and arduous process, and you just need to keep moving, repeating and staying motivated. Chance will happen, it just might take some time. Even with a minor cva, rehab will take months. With a massive cva, it could take years.<\/li>\n
  6. As fast as everyone wants it to go, don\u2019t overdo it \u2013 allow it to proceed at a natural pace. It\u2019s great if the patient is motivated, that\u2019s exactly what we want. However, pushing beyond the natural capacity can throw in a setback.<\/li>\n
  7. Don\u2019t give up even when you\u2019re in front of a brick wall. You can push through! Doctors don\u2019t always give a hopeful prognosis because they can\u2019t legally give false hopes. It\u2019s often up to the patients and his will to drive success.<\/li>\n
  8. Don\u2019t be afraid of alternative treatments. Acupuncture has helped many patients undergoing classical cva rehabilitation.<\/li>\n
  9. Keep trying different therapies, or go for a multidisciplinary program. Each individual responds differently to forms of therapy, so find the cocktail that works in your patient\u2019s case.<\/li>\n
  10. Proper nutrition is vital for staying healthy, and a healthy diet will aid in cva rehabilitation. Any licensed facility has a nutritionist on staff to create the best diet for each patient. Make sure you\u2019re taking advantage of that. And don\u2019t let \u201cnice\u201d visitors pump up the patient with junk. It will only hurt recovery time.<\/li>\n
  11. If you notice any strange side effects, find a cure! You don\u2019t have to believe that it\u2019s just part of the process. Deal with each part of the recovery as it comes.<\/li>\n
  12. Go for the gold \u2013 statistically, only a small fraction pf CVA rehabilitation patients achieve a full recovery. Don\u2019t be daunted by that number \u2013 try to be a part of it, and you\u2019re more likely to succeed.<\/li>\n
  13. Community and religion are important to recovery. Whether it\u2019s friends, family, or religion that can provide the extra support the patient needs to stay motivated and feel comfortable, it should be a significant part of the rehabilitation process.<\/li>\n
  14. If the patient stagnates with one therapy, move on to the next. Have clear communication with the patient\u2019s case manage and monitor care so you see what\u2019s moving and what\u2019s not.<\/li>\n
  15. Finally, stay positive. It can be very challenging when something like this occurs, but have faith; CVA rehabilitation really works.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
