Rating of the best rehabilitation centers after stroke in St. Petersburg for 2020

A stroke is always a disaster, especially when it comes to a loved one. Therefore, it is important to organize correct and timely rehabilitation so that the patient can return to normal life as much as possible.

More than 30% of patients need help after a blow. About 20% are unable to even move independently. Only 8% of those who survived the disease fully recover. These are the sad statistics.

Stroke often develops rapidly, so it is important to learn its basic concepts and signs. If necessary, this knowledge can save the life of the victim and avoid serious consequences for him. This and the best rehabilitation centers in St. Petersburg for stroke survivors will be discussed below.

Concept, types and signs of stroke

Stroke is a severe circulatory disorder in the brain, apoplectic stroke, which entails a cessation of the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the human brain.

The disease is quite insidious and fleeting, often leading to the death of the cells and tissues of the organ.

Depending on which part of the body is affected, the blow can be left-sided or right-sided.

Doctors distinguish between two types of strokes:

1. Ischemic is the most common type. It is characterized by the formation of a blood clot that clogs a capillary or vessel, and thus oxygen ceases to flow to the brain. Depending on the site of thrombus formation, embolic and thrombotic strokes differ.
2. Hemorrhagic - hemorrhage occurs due to rupture of one of the vessels. In most cases, this type of stroke is due to an aneurysm. In the place where the vessel burst, a hematoma is formed. Doctors assess its size and condition, and based on the data obtained, prescribe treatment and make predictions for further recovery. Hemorrhagic stroke, in turn, is divided into cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the first case, the disease can be a consequence of chronic hypertension, in the second, the space between the brain and the bones of the cranial vault is filled with blood, which leads to unbearable headaches.

The following subtypes of stroke are worth mentioning:

• acute - the initial stage of the development of the disease. It lasts about three weeks, in some cases less;
• repeated - entails a second blow. It can also occur in case of improper patient care during rehabilitation after the first stroke;
• micro-stroke - the name is associated with the transience of the disease and the rapid passage of symptoms, from two days to three weeks. Regardless of gender, this type of disease occurs among patients from 25 to 45 years old. People who have already survived a stroke are often affected by the disease. Frequent micro-strokes lead to a decrease in intellectual abilities and the development of dementia.

Medical fact! There is such a thing as a "therapeutic window": six hours during which it is necessary to provide assistance to the victim, in order to avoid the onset of irreversible consequences and to obtain the possibility of maximum recovery.

A person is not always able to recognize the onset of a blow. This is the insidiousness of the disease. According to statistics, about 70% of patients did not know the main symptoms of a stroke, which led to sad consequences for them.

Depending on the area of ​​brain damage, symptoms are observed:

• excessive sweating;
• weakness in the limbs, impaired coordination, sometimes immobility of the whole body;
• inconsistency of speech - the patient may not be able to answer elementary questions or ceases to understand what is being said to him;
• it is difficult for a person to stand on his own feet, there is a need for support;
• dullness of sensations - the sick person may not feel pain in the head, fever, etc.;
• fainting;
• muscle cramps - this symptom is typical for many diseases, but if it comes to facial distortions, you should seek help from a doctor as soon as possible;
• dizziness, headaches.

Further, the review will tell you about the ten best rehabilitation centers in St. Petersburg, where stroke survivors are able to provide timely assistance and help in further recovery.
