Dear viewer,

We are students from a high school in Singapore and would like to share with you some of the ways of rehabilitation and more importantly, how to maximize the recovery rate.

One of the most common ways of stroke rehabilitation is physiotherapy at local hospitals which would usually be conducted once a week, or 2-3 three times a week for other patients. How long will this routine last? As long as the patient is willing to devote their time and effort to perform the rehabilitation exercises, their recovery would inevitably speed up. Patients can recover fully in the span of 6 months to 2 years depending on the seriousness of their stroke. But on the average, according to various hospitals in Singapore, patients require an approximate 8months to 1 year of therapy.

That is a really long time to wait until you've recovered. Hence, we, team Bulletproof, have come up with a simple way to recover faster and regain more forms of movement.

The patient has to spend more time time recovering, other than in the clinic, but also at home. Home is the place whereby patients would usually spend in their recovering days, and it is also the perfect place to start rehabilitation exercises on your own at home. The principle is that, the more rehabilitation exercises you perform, the better you get at doing those movements you've learned by yourself, thus this speeds up the rate of recovery.

One more important factor affecting this rate is the attitude of the patients. After losing immobility due to stroke, patients will usually take a while to accept the fact that they cannot move like they used to anymore. This causes depression for some patients, especially when no one is around to encourage them. Everyone needs a friend, and if your relative or friend is suffering from stroke, we should take up the responsibility of seeing them through the rehabilitation exercises through to the very end. A little encouragement can go a long way in helping someone recover, and recovery this way is always better than having a patient not willing to go through physical therapy at all.

We would like to spread this form of information to all of you readers and we hope that you would be more aware of stroke rehabilitation.
