Abstract:
Introduction:
This case report focuses on the rehabilitation of Mst. Shaleya khatun a 53-
year-old female who is suffered by ischemic stroke resulting in right-sided
weakness and speech difficulties.
a thrombus and a thrombotic stroke (when the clot blocks a vessel that
supplies an area of the brain with blood)(Refarence:)
2.Weakness or numbness: Often on one side of the body, which can affect
the face, arm, or leg. This can result in a drooping face, difficulty in lifting an
arm, or dragging of one leg when walking.
Ataxia:
Types of Ataxia:
There are several types of ataxia, each with its own distinct characteristics:
Hereditary Ataxia: This type is typically caused by genetic mutations
and tends to run in families. Examples include Friedreich's ataxia and
spinocerebellar ataxia.
Acquired Ataxia: This form of ataxia is not inherited but develops
due to factors like injury, infection, or exposure to toxins. Alcohol
abuse can also lead to acquired ataxia.
Idiopathic Late-Onset Cerebellar Ataxia (ILOCA): This is a term
used when the cause of ataxia is unknown, and it typically occurs later
in life.
Symptoms of Ataxia:

d) Prognostic characteristics:
The prognosis for an ischemic stroke can vary widely depending on factors
such as the extent of brain damage, the location of the stroke, the patient's
age, and their overall health. Generally, early medical intervention and
rehabilitation can significantly improve outcomes. Some people may
recover completely, while others may experience long-term disabilities. It's
important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's guidance and
engage in rehabilitation to maximize their chances of recovery. Prognosis
should be discussed with a medical professional who can provide specific
information based on an individual's case.
Therapeutic Intervention
a) Types of intervention:
- Non-pharmacological interventions:
- Pharmacological interventions:
- The patient took one pill of Bigomet 500mg per day to manage their
diabetes.
- The high blood pressure medication was also taken once a day.
Follow-up test results were generally positive, reflecting the positive impact
of the therapeutic interventions. The “MODIFIED ASHWORTH SCALE FOR
HYPERTONICITY” showed improvement in the patient's upper extremity
function and overall ischemic stroke impairments. Additionally, laboratory
test results indicated well-managed controlled blood pressure levels.
Discussion
The rationale for the conclusions drawn in this case report is based on the
patient's clinical course, the assessments conducted, and the documented
progress observed over the course of the management. The patient's
improvement in physical function, cognitive abilities, and activities of daily
living, as well as their positive response to interventions, supports the
efficacy of the chosen treatment strategies.
The main "take-away" lessons from this case report include the importance
of a multidisciplinary approach in stroke rehabilitation, tailored
interventions that address specific deficits, and the significance of family
involvement and support in the patient's recovery. The use of evidence-
based interventions, such as Bobath, Brunstrum , Task oriented, Rood
Approach can contribute to improved motor function and functional
outcomes. The case highlights the need for cultural and linguistic sensitivity
in healthcare delivery to ensure effective communication and
understanding. Additionally, the successful management of this case
reinforces the value of regular follow-up visits, assessments, and
individualized treatment plans in promoting positive outcomes in stroke
rehabilitation.
Patient Perspective:
Informed Consent:
The patient had provided written consent, indicating that they were
adequately informed about the treatment options and voluntarily agreed to
participate. The patient's motivation and satisfaction were important factors that
contributed to the success of the interventions and overall patient outcomes. The
obtained written consent served as documentation of the patient's agreement to
undergo the recommended interventions, ensuring their autonomy and respect for
their rights. The patient's positive experience and consent exemplified the
collaborative and patient-centered approach that was taken in their care.
This case report focuses on the rehabilitation of Mst. Shaleya khatun a 53-
year-old female who is suffered by ischemic stroke resulting in right-sided
weakness, speech difficulties and balance problem for more than one year.
She first went to NICD hospital then she was referred to NINSH. she was
prescribed medicine and advice for imaging test (MRI).Immediately
following after stroke she made rapid progress in speech recovery but then
right side weakness persisted. The assessment process in outpatient unit
revealed upper limb functional limitation such as grasping, reaching and
also other motor deficits. Clonous is also observed for several time that
takes time to initiate any activity. These intervention has provided during
therapy session
o Scapula mobilization
o Foot preparation
Brunstrom:
o Sleep position
Roods approach
The patient in this case report expressed motivation and satisfaction with
the treatment provided by the multidisciplinary team. The patient expressed
satisfaction with Bobath, Brunstrum, Task oriented, Rood Approach
intervention and reported noticeable improvements in her daily life activities. She
found the therapy challenging but rewarding, and she appreciated the tailored
approach that focused on her specific goals
