Introduction: Setting Up a Safe Home Environment
Preparing the home is the crucial first step for stroke rehabilitation. Removing fall hazards, installing grab bars, and optimizing lighting empowers patients to move with greater security.

Daily Range of Motion and Spasticity Control
Gentle passive and active-assisted range of motion exercises prevent contractures and reduce post-stroke hypertonia. Daily stretches for shoulder, wrist, knee, and ankle preserve full joint mobility.

Functional Task Repetition
Practicing essential everyday tasks—such as drinking from a cup, buttoning clothes, and sit-to-stand transitions—builds muscular endurance and neural connectivity.

Family and Caregiver Involvement
A consistent, supportive home atmosphere with trained caregivers accelerates milestone achievements and restores patient self-esteem.
