Background and Aims: Brain damage caused by stroke is associated with sensorimotor and/or
cognitive impairment, depending on area of brain affected and the severity of
attack.The aims of this study were to show the importance of physiotherapy
associated with electrolyte and mineral balance through diet correction in
patients recovering from stroke.Methods: This is a follow-up study of two patients with stroke followed at
Kinshasa International Hospital Center during period from May 16 to July 1,
2020. The first had received physiotherapy with foods for correction of the
existing ionic and mineral deficiency and the second had only received
pharmacological management with conservative physiotherapy without making a
change in diet. Clinical and electrolyte monitoring was performed at regular
intervals in both patients. The variables of interest evaluated in both
patients were FIM, MOTOR/SENSORY and Ionic
balance.Results: The parameters of FIM, motors and sensory functions were improved during follow-up, however they remained disturbed in the
control. Na+
