CVA (Cerebro Vascular Accident)
What is a CVA?
A CVA (Cerebro Vascular Accident) literally means ‘an accident in the blood vessels of the brain’. It occurs when the oxygen supply to the brain is suddenly interrupted by a blockage of a blood vessel (cerebral infarction) or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and blood gets between the brain tissue (cerebral hemorrhage). A CVA is also commonly referred to as a stroke.
Consequences of CVA
Consequences of a stroke are diverse and different for each person. Complaints can manifest themselves in physical problems, disturbances in thinking and/or changes in emotions or behaviour. We therefore believe that it is important.
Influence of exercise therapy on recovery
Scientific research shows that physical therapy is effective on recovery after a CVA. We aim to work with you to ensure that daily functioning runs as smoothly as possible. We teach you to make use of your possibilities and to deal with your limitations.
