32 years old lady Samiya came to the RCPD Physiotherapy department one month ago. After clinical examination, she was diagnosed with Hemiplegia (HP) by the RCPD physiotherapists’ team. Because of Hemiplegia, half part of her body had been paralyzed. She was facing difficulties in maintaining her balance of body due to limb weaknesses leading to an inability to properly shift body weight. Moreover, she was not able to stand and walk.
During her treatment, the RCPD physiotherapy team worked on the improvement of her sensation and motor abilities. Different strategies that have been used for treatment include promoting the use of the hemiparetic limb during functional tasks, maintaining range of motion, and using neuromuscular electrical stimulation to decrease spasticity and increase awareness of the limb. The physiotherapy team also worked on her muscle strength & coordination, and mobility (such as standing and walking).
After one month of successful cure, she became able to stand and walk without any support. She is now performing her daily activities of life independently. Samia is very happy over backing in life from her fatal disease of Hemiplegia.
