Ergotherapy

Ergotherapy is part of a recovery after a stroke. It is especially important in treating sensorimotor disorders of the upper limbs. Training of movements, coordination and motor skills, in some cases, prevention of use of a healthy hand  are the main methods of ergotherapy. The Perfetti method is used along with Bobat`s method and a number of other therapeutic techniques. The Perfetti method is primarily used for training of fine motor movements. For example, in this method a person sweeps the hand over various surfaces or objects or performs movements by a separate joint. Patient should then describe his feelings. The goal of such exercises is to improve sensory perception and to achieve patient's independence while performing such movements.
