Stroke

Causes

Particularly at risk are persons who show a number of risk factors that favor the occurrence of a stroke. Among those are mainly high blood pressure, lipopathy, diabetes mellitus, alcohol, nicotine, lack of exercise, malnutrition and overweight. Persons who are showing one or more of the above risk factors should make a special effort at reducing these factors and starting an active prevention of a stroke. Should a stroke occur all the same, the intense and hitherto most efficient GIGERMD Therapy should be started immediately in order to recover as many of the lost neurological functions as possible.

Treatment

Whether young or old, whoever has suffered a stroke has to intensely exercise his mobility. Depending on where exactly in the brain the circulatory disorder has occurred, there are – as has already been pointed out – losses that impact on the patient’s speech, visual ability or motoricity. Even if a large number of nerve cells have been irretrievably destroyed, healthy areas of the brain can take over new functions if they are stimulated through intense exercise. With the help of the GIGERMD Therapy patients learn to recover lost functions. Coordinated motor training cannot be replaced by any medication. For the learning or relearning respectively, of motor skills after a stroke, the same principle holds as for a pianist. Each single movement has to be exercised a thousand times till it is perfect. GIGERMD Therapy fully meets these demands.
