BACKGROUND
795,000 +
Every year
People in the United States have strokes. About 610,000 of these are first or new strokes.
From the Cdc
-
41% of patients looking for a drug-free pain relief option, found physical therapy to be the most effective alternative treatment.
-
Stroke-related costs in the United States came to nearly $53 billion between 2017 and 2018.2 This total includes the cost of health care services, medicines to treat stroke, and missed days of work.
-
Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability. Stroke reduces mobility in more than half of stroke survivors age 65 and older.
THE PROBLEM
Physiotherapies are expensive and tiring for many stroke-affected patients. Due to demotivation and boredom, there is a 70 % non-compliance from the patient's side in performing the prescribed exercise or visiting the doctor regularly.
It's a challenge, especially considering we're dealing about stroke survivors.
