Taking even a few steps might seem physically impossible and mentally exhausting, making many seniors believe that the best choice is to simply stay in bed.<\/p>\n<h2>Walking as Part of a Stroke Recovery Program<\/h2>\n<p>While there is a lot to be said for taking stroke recovery slowly and one day at a time, research suggests that getting back to walking is a top priority for many patients in stroke rehabilitation programs. This makes a lot of sense since ambulating independently is closely tied to remaining independent and continuing to enjoy a higher quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Walking builds strength, stamina and stability. It helps seniors to feel increasingly confident about their recovery. Being able to walk is key to participating in daily activity for many, and this makes it important as seniors move through the stroke recovery process. It serves another function too, helping seniors gravitate toward maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system so they can avoid future strokes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Regular physical activity:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li>Improves blood pressure and cholesterol numbers<\/li>\n<li>Reduces weight and helps prevent obesity<\/li>\n<li>Is healthy for seniors managing diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Improves mood and reduces instances of depression and anxiety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Taking Things Slow<\/h2>\n<p>For some seniors, the recovery process following a stroke is long. This may mean that weeks or months pass before they are able to walk at all. In that times, muscles sometimes atrophy and stamina is reduced. That is why it is so important to start slowly when re-learning to walk following a stroke.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.strokeassociation.org\/STROKEORG\/LifeAfterStroke\/HealthyLivingAfterStroke\/PhysicalActivity\/Physical-Activity_UCM_310896_Article.jsp#.WP5hpNLyvIV\">American Stroke Association<\/a> makes the following recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li>Participate in some activity on at least most days of the week, starting with about 10 minutes per day<\/li>\n<li>Break activity into two 5 minute segments per day if necessary<\/li>\n<li>Progress slowly but at a steady pace<\/li>\n<li>Increase activity as strength and endurance return<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Physical Therapy and Stroke Recovery<\/h2>\n<p>An excellent way to follow these recommendations and meet your recovery goals is by working with a physical therapist. These professionals assist seniors in rediscovering muscle strength, recovering faster and reaching their highest level of independence. They can also provide suggestions for keeping muscles toned and stimulated before walking is possible. This makes it easier for seniors to get back on their feet quickly while also reducing their risk of injury.<\/p>\n<p>Many exercises prescribed by a physical therapist can be completed at home and in between therapy visits. These might include simple chair exercises or even stretching and strengthening exercises in bed. For some, support is recommended. Many seniors find it beneficial to have a family member or friend available to assist. Hiring a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/home-care\/\">in home caregiver<\/a> through an agency like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/\">Salus Homecare San Diego<\/a> is another excellent option. The more seniors can safely practice these exercises, the better their chances of a full recovery. The key to this is to prevent injury while building strength and mobility which is why support is so important.<\/p>\n<p>Walking promotes recovery from a stroke. It is an essential component in improving mood, regaining strength and independence and ensuring a higher quality of life for any senior who has suffered a stroke. Encourage your loved one to get active as early in the recovery process as possible, and continue to support them throughout every stage. There will certainly be ups and downs and perhaps even setbacks along the way, but the benefits will soon make it all worthwhile.
