stroke Equipments and Rehabilitation

Hi Cherif,

Thank you for your post. I’m sorry to hear about your father’s stroke and the ongoing challenges he has with his arm and leg.

Is your father being seen by an Occupational Therapist and/or Physiotherapist currently? It is challenging to recommend specific exercise equipment as stroke recovery is very individual. I would suggest speaking with the therapists and ask them to advise you on the most appropriate equipment, based on your father’s needs and rehabilitation goals.

Please feel free to contact us on StrokeLine (1800 787 653 AEST, Monday-Friday) if you would like further assistance. My colleague Simone is an Occupational Therapist and she works on Mondays-Wednesdays.

Best Wishes,

Lisa (Speech Pathologist for StrokeLine)

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your reply.

My father is now in Canberra. Can you please advise me with a list of recommended centers or clinics in Canberra who are specialized in stroke physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Thank you

Cherif

Hi Cherif

I'm sorry to hear about your father.

One of the best pieces of equipment my sister got for me in Canberra at Aldi. It looks like this: https://bit.ly/2uPBGJI

You can use it for the arms but also for the feet. That's how I use it, I wheel up to it in my wheelchair to cycle. A carer puts my feet in the pedals.

Good luck

Oh so sorry to hear about your father

Oh so sorry to hear about your father

I am asking for a family member who doesn't use the internet. But are there any recommendations for proven and specifically designed stroke rehabilitation devices ? As opposed to just using regular exercise equipment etc.
