Clinical Summary Before Stroke Treatment

Mr. Maneul, a 69-year-old man from Portugal, had suffered a stroke. The first stroke happened in 2010 and the next one occurred in 2022. The strokes changed his life; they left him with a lot of consequences, such as spasticity in the lower limbs, an inability to balance and coordinate movements, and an inability to walk or effectively mobilise his left side, among others. These symptoms dramatically affected his daily life by stripping him of his independence and thus leading to a drastic decline in his quality of life.

From their research and consultations locally with medical professionals in Portugal, Mr. Maneul and his family learned that the rehab options available in the country were probably not enough to meet his needs. They expanded their search and found MediGence.

The first few initiation days were tough, with Mr. Maneul adapting to his new environment and commencing therapy. The rehabilitation exercises and equipment were another challenge he faced; however, his determination was to restore himself to independence. His treatment consisted of exercises aimed at enhancing the balance, coordination, and muscle strength of his lower limbs.

With physiotherapists, he would practice daily mobility and gait training, increasing his walking ability. For the left-side paralysis, graded exercises were used to recover movement, coordination, and strength.

Occupational therapy was equally important in helping Mr. Maneul recover independence in the activities of daily living. The therapists focused on helping him adapt to perform basic activities using adaptive techniques and equipment for dressing, eating, and self-care. The training taught him how to maximize the use of his unaffected side while continuing to practice on the left side.

A Successful Stroke Treatment in 60 Days

Among the various challenges faced by Mr. Maneul was coping with the emotional and psychological impact of his stroke. At first, he dealt with feelings of frustration because the journey to recovery looked long and uncertain. However, he slowly became more hopeful due to the help of the medical team and the friendly environment at MediGence. They encouraged Mr. Maneul every step of the way, celebrated the smallest of milestones, and provided him with real emotional support whenever needed.

After 60 days of dedicated treatment and rehabilitation, Mr. Maneul began to show significant improvement. Among the most dramatic changes included his regaining more than 60% functional independence. The muscle strength improved, he stood for longer periods, and began walking using assistive devices, his balance and coordination showed vast improvements, and he was also able to use the left side with more control and confidence.

A Bright Future for Mr. Maneul

In his final review, he was so grateful to the team of MediGence and the type of change he received from there.
