Hemiplegic shoulder is one of the 4 most common complications after stroke with a reported incidence between 30% and 65%. It is associated with decreased functional use of the upper limb, difficulty in rehabilitation, higher rates of depression and lower quality of life. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary team and at the Wellness Rehabilitation Center our experienced staff is involved with this clinical manifestation from day one of hospitalization.
