More proof that no one knows what works or what they are doing in stroke rehab. And our fucking failures of stroke associations seem to be ok with such slipshod rehab practices. I bet this done anywhere in the world would have the same piss poor results. And you are paying for this?
Abstract
Background: There are many techniques used for rehabilitation after stroke, and
physiotherapists use them eclectically. However, some of the techniques are more effective than
others.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine what techniques physiotherapists in
Kano mostly use for stroke rehabilitation.
Method: Focused group discussions were carried out with 2 separate groups using a prepared
interview guide consisting of 7 items.
Results: The result of the study showed that physiotherapists used a combination of techniques
for stroke rehabilitation consisting mostly of the Bobath and Bruunstrom techniques.
Conclusion: The techniques physiotherapists use for stroke rehabilitation in Kano vary.
However, the choice of a particular technique may not be evidence based, but rather from
personal preference, experience of the therapists and relevant presentations of the patients.
