Many consequences improve in the first few weeks. However, it is very likely that a restoration program will be needed to restore previous functionality or maintain the rudiments that remain. Improvement in the first period is usually fast but then skills are mastered at a slower rate. People's conditions may continue to improve for months or years.
Physiotherapy plays an important role in rehabilitation. The main goal is to maintain and, by extension, improve the movement of muscles and joints. The program helps maintain muscle tone and range of motion. Depending on the progression of the patient's condition, balance, gait and coordination are retrained.
Important help in rehabilitation is the positive thinking of the person himself, on a second level the familiar environment and finally the appropriate therapist.
