At a glance
Post-stroke assessment typically combines standardized scales evaluating movement, strength, and function with more general observation of gait, balance, and use of the affected limb during daily tasks. Because new stroke symptoms or medical complications can occur during recovery, clinicians remain alert to a specific set of red-flag signs throughout the rehabilitation process.

Post-Stroke · Spasticity
Increased muscle tone and stiffness that can develop in the weeks to months after stroke, sometimes complicating movement and positioning if not addressed. Elevated fall risk related to combined weakness, sensory changes, and balance impairment, making balance-specific rehabilitation a priority for many stroke survivors.

Post-Stroke · closing 1
This combination of standardized functional scales and vigilant red-flag screening allows the rehabilitation team to track meaningful progress while remaining alert to the medical complications that can occur during stroke recovery. These are classic warning signs of a new or recurrent stroke (often remembered by the FAST acronym) and require immediate emergency medical attention.
Post-Stroke · Signs of blood clot in the leg
Swelling, warmth, and pain in one leg during recovery, particularly with reduced mobility, raises concern for deep vein thrombosis and requires prompt medical evaluation. A clinical scale grading the degree of resistance felt when moving a joint through its range, used to quantify spasticity severity.
