24 physical therapists from different regions of Russia learned about new methods of rehabilitation after a stroke

ORBI Stroke Foundation

Charitable foundation • Moscow

Thanks to your support, the ORBI Stroke Fundation was able to pay the instructor's fee, and 24 specialists underwent training in modern stroke recovery methods. The course topic was Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Level I. This movement recovery method is based on alternating muscle contraction and relaxation, which stimulates the areas of the brain responsible for movement, helping the muscles "remember" forgotten movements. In November, 14 specialists from Bryansk, Kaluga, and Arkhangelsk completed the course. In March, 10 participants from medical institutions in Arkhangelsk, Bryansk, Pugachev, Makhachkala, and Moscow attended the course. The knowledge gained from the course will be actively applied in our specialists' practice. They will be able to help patients recover from strokes more effectively, improving their quality of life and returning them to active participation. Thanks to your support, hundreds and thousands of patients from different regions of our country will receive assistance. Thank you!

Campaign information

Help pay for courses for specialists so that they can provide rehabilitation for older people after strokes

Full or partial paralysis, spasticity, weakness are the most common consequences of stroke. In order to restore movement and regain independence, it is necessary to undergo rehabilitation under the guidance of experienced physical therapists. But this specialty has just begun its development in Russia, and the necessary number of specialists has not yet appeared on the scale of our large country. That is why the ORBI Foundation is launching its own courses for specialists from the regions.

During the courses, physical therapists will learn the modern techniques necessary in their work. These are fully practical courses where specialists will gain applied skills. Training takes place in small groups, where the instructor can monitor the accuracy and completeness of performance of all participants. The training is conducted by physical therapists with extensive experience and international certificates.

Thanks to the funds raised, the Foundation will be able to organize courses for specialists from different regions of Russia so that their patients, including the elderly, can receive qualified help!
