Stroke Treatment & Procedures
When a patient has a stroke, the neurologist evaluates the damage and refers him to the physiatrist, who offers the best rehabilitation treatment for the patient, says Dr. Lucinda Adriana Arenas, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physician with Baptist Health South Florida.
The doctor explains the physiatrist evaluates the patient and the areas of the brain that can be affected by the stroke. After that, the team prepares the rehab program.
The physiatrist works with a team and they analyze the deficit of the patient after a stroke.
