Ischemic stroke, a leading cause of disability, requires effective rehabilitation strategies to optimize patient recovery. This study introduces innovative nursing care strategies aimed at fostering independent recovery in ischemic stroke patients. The proposed model integrates evidence-based practices with personalized care plans to address the unique needs of each patient. Key components include comprehensive assessment protocols, individualized goal setting, and adaptive therapeutic interventions that promote physical, cognitive, and emotional recovery.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, the model emphasizes the role of restorative nursing care in enhancing functional independence and quality of life. The implementation of these strategies is supported by continuous education and training for nursing staff, ensuring adherence to best practices and improving patient outcomes. Preliminary results from a pilot study indicate significant improvements in patient mobility, self-care abilities, and overall satisfaction with care. This research highlights the critical role of innovative nursing care in the rehabilitation process and underscores the potential for these strategies to transform the standard of care for ischemic stroke patients.
