A stroke is defined as the sudden loss of neurological function caused by the reduction of flow of blood to the brain. This is a leading cause of long-term disabilities. There are two classifications of stroke i.e., ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Ischemic stroke is common. A wide range of abnormalities occurs, including alterations in consciousness, sensory, motor, cognitive, and language problems. Physical therapy plays a vital role in treatment. It majorly works on sensory and motor components. Here, is a case of a 40-year-old male, who is a lawyer by profession, who suffered with a stroke. Underwent durotomy and craniotomy and further was referred for physiotherapy rehabilitation. The patient had a loss of power on the right side and unclear speech. Physiotherapy was initiated with training the bed mobility exercises, followed by sitting training, then standing progressing to gait training.
