A day rehabilitation stroke program.
An innovative approach to the rehabilitation of the stroke patient was initiated at Riverside Methodist Hospital to accommodate an increasing number of patients. Patients spend six hours a day several days a week attending a day rehabilitation program at which all necessary therapies are provided. A year-end analysis of the program substantiates the original hypothesis that stroke patients would show significant improvement with treatment in a specialized day rehabilitation facility.
