Stroke recovery.
Support between therapy sessions.

Stroke recovery is the process of regaining abilities and adapting to changes after a stroke. It depends on how much the stroke has affected a person physically and mentally. For some people, recovery takes days or weeks; for others, it takes months or years and may mean changes at home or work. Rehabilitation is vital to stroke recovery, and with it most people are able to recover some function.

Stroke rehabilitation helps people relearn skills such as walking, using language and thinking clearly, or find new ways to manage. It is led by a multidisciplinary team that can include doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and psychologists. Plans may cover movement, communication, swallowing, vision, memory and mood, with goals that are meaningful to the person.

Progress is reviewed against the person's rehabilitation goals at regular intervals. The team uses standardised assessments, and measures such as the modified Rankin Scale and the Barthel Index to describe independence in daily life. People may also complete questionnaires such as the Stroke Impact Scale. Fatigue affects about half of stroke survivors, so a fatigue questionnaire such as the Fatigue Severity Scale may be considered.

A stroke recovery program is for people with ongoing rehabilitation needs after a stroke, and the family members and carers who support them. Rehabilitation usually starts in hospital and can continue in outpatient clinics, at home or in other settings, for as long as it helps the person reach their goals. Services, eligibility and referral routes differ by country and local service.

Not quite. Stroke recovery describes the changes a person goes through as the brain and body adapt after a stroke, which can continue over months or years. Stroke rehabilitation is the set of interventions, delivered by a care team, designed to optimise functioning and support that recovery. It helps people relearn lost skills and find new ways to manage abilities that remain affected.

Parts of stroke rehabilitation can be supported remotely, including education, check-ins, home exercise reminders and some therapy by video, where the person agrees and it fits their goals. People taking part need the right equipment and support to use it, and their progress and mood should be monitored. Hands-on therapy and many assessments need an in-person appointment. The care team decides which steps are suitable.

Digital follow-up keeps a rehabilitation team in touch with people between sessions. WeGuide brings education, reminders and a log for the home exercises the therapist sets into a journey the care team configures, with check-ins on mood, fatigue, sleep and daily activities, and step data from Apple Health, Health Connect or Garmin where available. WeGuide is not for emergencies: sudden face drooping, arm weakness or speech problems need emergency services straight away.

The team agrees a recovery plan with the person and, where appropriate, their family or carers, and reviews it regularly. Reducing the risk of another stroke, through blood pressure checks, agreed medicines and everyday habits, becomes part of daily life. WeGuide supports this with education, check-ins and readings entered from a validated home device.

Contact WeGuide to discuss your stroke rehabilitation service, patient population and existing workflow. Together, we can identify the intake forms, patient education, home exercise logs, check-in schedule, carer access and any integrations needed to support your team. Your clinical team defines the rehabilitation protocol, the exercises and all care decisions.

WeGuide pricing depends on the scope of your care pathway, configuration, integrations and support requirements. Contact our team to discuss your service and request a proposal. Clinical consultation, therapy and rehabilitation fees are determined separately by the care provider.
