Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery

Stages of Stroke Recovery

Not every survivor starts at stage 1. Rather, survivors may begin their recovery journey at any stage, depending on the severity of their stroke.

However, most survivors do progress sequentially from their starting point through the subsequent stages.
The idea isn’t to follow the framework from start to finish, but to understand where you are and what the next stage of recovery involves. That way, you can celebrate the signs of recovery without overlooking them, which can help you stay motivated.
