Rehabilitation after Guillain-Barre Syndrome

This little girl is amazing us all at Reach Rehab Physiotherapy.   She developed a rare condition when she was 18 months old, called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Guillain-Barré syndrome affects your nervous system, causes damage to the sheaths that allow your nerves to transmit their messages.    This results in paralysis of the legs, arms or

Learning to Walk Again…

After suffering a stroke in 2006, Linda was left unable to sit up by herself, stand up by herself and was lifted with a hoist by her carers. She was sat in one chair all day every day unable to move from this, or even re-position herself within this chair. In August 2020 Reach Rehab Physiotherapy became involved. Through weekly visits, orthotic management and lots of hard work, Linda is now standing and walking with a stick! She can even walk out of the front of her house down the step, up the road and back.

Successful rehabilitation needs time and focused, graded input (not just the provision of a hoist at home).

Reach Rehab Physiotherapy will help to advise and source what is required to progress. This may include specific equipment, with specialist reps, working with orthotists and podiatrists to provide bespoke supports / orthotics, working with local services for spasticity management. Help with supporting carers at home so they work with clients during their progression to ensure there continues to be progression and it becomes engrained within day to day activities.

Reach Rehab Physiotherapy began rehab with Linda in her home in August 2020. Linda is now walking outside with a quad-stick, can climb up and down her front door step, walk around the indoors of her property.

We have worked closely with the local orthotic department as she had not been provided with suitable support for the ankle affected by the stroke. Linda now has custom made foot wear and an ankle support that keep her foto and ankle on the right position to help with her walking.

Testimonial

It is always lovely to have such great feedback from a client… We are so very pleased and happy with the work of Lisa and Sarah. My Sister-In-Law is 70 years old. She has a profound learning disability, but is a chatty person who comes across as much more capable than she is. People do not usually
