This disease can be interpreted as a pathological condition that affects the entire body, for example paralysis, impaired cognitive function, difficulty speaking, emotional difficulties, pain and problems in daily life which cause various activity limitations for the sufferer. This of course requires appropriate medical rehabilitation that is appropriate to the condition of stroke sufferers. Medical rehabilitation is provided with the aim of optimizing and even returning the patient's body functions to normal. This rehabilitation has three main focuses, namely: medical, social and vocational rehabilitation. Stroke sufferers who are still recovering and do not receive a good rehabilitation program are certainly less able to carry out activities independently, such as from sitting to standing with balance and without the help of other people, as is found at the elderly posyandu in Keprabon Village.
