Stroke rehabilitation

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability among Malaysians. With trends indicating that strokes are set to become the second leading cause of mortality among Malaysians by 2040, we are presented with a grim reality that this trajectory is set to continue in its upward trend for some time to come.

​

This realization is what prompted us in Genesis to put together a state of the art in-facility physical therapy and rehabilitation centre focused on post-stroke rehabilitation. Our facility, managed by a team of professional therapists focus their early intervention strategy towards getting their clients to re-learn the skills that they lost as a result of the stroke. At Genesis today, we boast one of the most well-equipped in-facility physiotherapy centres compared to any other old folks home or nursing home in Malaysia

The key to optimal outcomes of any post-stroke rehabilitation programme lies in carrying out a meticulously directed, well-planned, repetitive training of a candidate in order for them to re-learn the skills that they lost as a result of the stroke. This is the same philosophy that would apply when learning any new skill like learning to play a guitar, or a dance technique. A person who has suffered a stroke may lose a set of motor skills like walking, speech, swallowing, etc. This happens due to the part of the brain that control these functions have suffered damage as a result of the stroke. Research has shown however that through well-planned and executed therapy, a person is capable of training another part of the brain to perform these functions, this is a concept referred to as neuroplasticity. 

​

In addition to that, a good post-stroke rehab programme will also teach a person to compensate for the irreversible functional losses that they may have sustained due to the stroke. This includes teaching them how to bathe, change, prepare meals, and eat with only one hand.
