If you or someone you love has had an ischaemic stroke, the weeks and months that follow can feel overwhelming. Things that once came naturally, like walking across a room, holding a cup or finding the right words, can suddenly take real effort.
That’s where we come in. At CN Rehab, we provide specialist ischaemic stroke rehabilitation from our neuro rehab clinic in Stourbridge. Our team works one-to-one with you to rebuild movement, strength and confidence, so you can get back to the things that matter to you.

An ischaemic stroke happens when a blood clot or narrowed artery blocks the blood supply to part of the brain. Without a steady flow of oxygen-rich blood, brain cells in that area are damaged. The effects you experience depend on which part of the brain was affected and for how long.
Ischaemic strokes are the most common type of stroke, making up around 85% of cases in the UK. They generally fall into a few groups:
The symptoms of ischaemic stroke come on suddenly. The FAST test is the quickest way to spot them:
Other symptoms can include sudden blurred or lost vision, dizziness, loss of balance, confusion, and numbness or weakness on one side of the body.
Leaving hospital is rarely the end of recovery. For most people, it’s where the real work begins. Our physiotherapists, occupational therapists and rehab specialists help with:
Every Ischaemic Stroke management and recovery programme is built around you. One person’s goal might be walking their dog again. Another’s might be returning to work. We plan your stroke rehabilitation around those goals, not a one-size-fits-all routine.
Your brain can rewire itself after a stroke. This is called neuroplasticity, and it’s the reason recovery is possible. But it needs the right input: lots of repetition, the right level of challenge and expert guidance. That’s exactly what our clinic is set up to give you.
Our Lexo Gait Trainer uses robotics to guide natural walking patterns. This lets you take hundreds of steps in a single session, far more than you could manage unsupported. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill takes weight off your legs so you can walk safely while you rebuild strength. TYMO and Strolll AR Glasses help with balance and posture.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) gently stimulates weak muscles to lift your foot as you walk, helping to reduce trips and falls. FES cycling lets you exercise even when your muscles are very weak.
Getting your hand working again can make a huge difference to daily life. The AMADEO and PABLO systems give your arm and hand the repetition they need, with exercises built around real tasks like gripping, reaching and dressing.
