Treatment for hemiplegia

Is there any treatment for hemiplegia that works?

There is no specific treatment but rehabilitation therapy is often recommended. In all cases the major aim of rehabilitation is to regain maximum functioning potential of the brain. Both physical and occupational therapy can significantly improve the quality of life. Physical therapy can help improve the range of motion, increase muscle strength and prevent joint contractures. Occupational therapy may help the individual perform daily living activities like brushing teeth, combing hair or dressing. Initially one may undergo physical therapy at a center but many of these exercises can also be done at home and become part of daily life routine.
