  1.  Assist the range of motion of the limbs and joints.
  2. Improve posture positioning and assistive devicecoordination, avoid permanent contractures or deformations.
  3. Ability to assist daily independent self-care.
  4. Limb mobility and walking safety.
 
VI.Prevention of stroke:

The quality of life after stroke can be improved and improved through the referral of the medical team to rehabilitation institutions, continuous rehabilitation treatment and drug use, positioning, stretching exercises and wearing assistive devices. To prevent stroke, we must have good and regular living habits and fully understand the risk factors in order to know how to prevent and reduce the probability of stroke.
