I had a stroke in January last year and have been on medication for 11 months. I also have diabetes. I am currently taking Almito+ and Cognolin 500 mg, but I still have difficulty controlling my lower body while walking. What rehabilitation or treatment options can help me recover better?
Recovery after a Stroke can take time, especially when it affects walking, and continued difficulty with lower-body control means you would benefit from structured rehabilitation rather than medicines alone. The most effective approach is regular physiotherapy focused on gait training, balance exercises, and muscle strengthening, along with occupational therapy to improve daily activities; in some cases, assistive devices or braces may help with stability. Since you also have diabetes, keeping your blood sugar well controlled is very important for nerve and muscle recovery. Your doctor or rehabilitation specialist may also review your medications and suggest additional therapies like neuro-rehabilitation programs or, in selected cases, electrical stimulation. Consistency is key; doing exercises daily, maintaining a healthy diet, and having family support can significantly improve recovery over time, but if progress is slow or worsening, a neurologist review is important to adjust your treatment plan.
