Daily News | How stroke patients like John Fetterman can retrain their brains
Those types of exercises are not designed to repair stroke-damaged neurons, said Thomas Watanabe, clinical director of the stroke rehabilitation program at MossRehab, part of Jefferson Health. Instead, such therapies prompt the brain to forge new pathways with healthy neurons — in effect, learning to arrive at the same destination by taking a different route.
Watanabe stressed that he had no direct knowledge of Fetterman’s history. But he said it was possible for stroke patients to regain their full abilities, especially if the stroke was mild. Still, lingering deficits in auditory processing can be frustrating, said Hatfield, ASHA’s associate director for health care services in speech-language pathology.“You know the socks are in there, but can’t find them,” she said.To develop new pathways in the brain, patients can practice by thinking about commonplace objects in different ways, Hatfield said.many people would call to mind the image of a small red fruit with seeds on the outside, she said.
In Tuesday’s debate, some viewers may wonder if these issues would affect his ability to serve in the Senate.
