ABSTRACT

Strokes are among the leading causes of serious physical and mental impairment in adults. The far more prevalent type of stroke is ischemic stroke, which accounts for around 80% of all cases. These can be formed by a cardiac embolism, arterial embolism, or a minor blood vessel disease in the brain. Epilepsy is a severe neurological condition marked by spontaneous seizures. Physical therapies as well as occupational therapy are crucial components of treatment programs for increasing functional ability and avoiding deconditioning. The main clinical findings were limited range of motion, moderate tightness, and patient relying on someone else. Treatment strategies have been demonstrated to be beneficial in reducing difficulties and better patient outcomes. The physiotherapy program included a range of motion exercises, strength training, functional mobility exercises, posture control exercises, balance shift exercises, weight-bearing exercises, and the use of electric modality.
