Received: May 26, 2018; Accepted: June 05, 2018; Published: June 09, 2018 Stroke sequelae need to be addressed early and many can even be prevented. This is when physiotherapy starts a few days after the hospital release (or the admission may even be in the place of hospitalization itself), when there is an effort by the patient to resume functions and when the family or caregiver is engaged in stimulating the same. This facilitates the recovery of simple functions, such as posture changes from dorsal decubitus to sedestation, evolving to independent gait and more elaborate activities such as driving. In addition to increasing the chances of motor improvement, early and disciplined stimulation minimizes shortening and deformities such as those reflected by a spastic pattern (shortening for example of flexors muscles of fingers and wrist, biceps brachii and sural triceps generating deformities in flexion of wrist and fingers, elbow and plantar flexion) or poor limb positioning during the flaccid phase [1,2].
