Stroke

“A stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Strokes are a medical emergency and urgent treatment is essential. The sooner a person receives treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to happen” (NHS, 2022).

A stroke can affect a patients upper or limb function and our DMO® products can help manage the physical effects of a stroke such as:

·         manage tone

·         reduce tremor

·         realign the body into better postural alignment

·         help with walking and mobility

·         manage shoulder subluxation alignment to reduce subluxation to reduce dropping

If you want to find out more about how our products can help patients manage the physical effects of their stroke you can contact one of our clinical team to find out more.
