Recovery after head injury
Alongside stroke, a distinct part of this caseload in Nakuru is traumatic brain and spinal injury, overwhelmingly from road collisions. Those recoveries are long, often involve several impairments at once, and are frequently discharged from hospital with nothing arranged locally.
The rehabilitation principles are the same as after stroke. The timelines and the family burden are usually greater.
Recovery is relearning
Damaged brain tissue does not regrow. Improvement comes from reorganisation, driven by repeated, specific, difficult practice of the movements you want back. That makes rehabilitation repetitive by necessity: hundreds of repetitions of a reach, a step, a sit-to-stand.
Two or three sessions a week over months achieves far more than occasional intense bursts. Which is precisely why we treat at home: transport is the single most common reason neurological rehabilitation stops early.
Honest expectations
Neurological recovery is slow and rarely linear. There are plateaus and weeks that go backwards for no clear reason. We tell you what we think is achievable and revise it as we learn how you respond, rather than promising what nobody can guarantee. Families deserve that as much as patients do.

Common questions
How soon after a stroke should rehabilitation start?
As soon as the medical team says it is safe, often within days. Early rehabilitation is strongly associated with better outcomes and time lost early is hard to recover.
Is there neurological rehabilitation in Nakuru?
Very little, and families here routinely end up managing recovery alone at home with no professional input. That gap is a large part of why we offer it and why we deliver it at home.
The stroke was two years ago. Is there any point?
Yes. Recovery is fastest early, but gains in walking, balance and daily function are well documented years later: particularly for people who never had structured rehabilitation in the first place, which describes most of the patients we meet here.
Can family be taught to help?
They should be. Whoever provides daily care is delivering most of the therapy, and they get shown safe transfers, positioning and how to encourage without taking over.
