An inspiring and hopeful scene in a rehabilitation center, showing a person with stroke undergoing physical therapy for arm and hand rehabilitation. The setting is bright and filled with rehabilitation equipment, but focuses on the interaction between the patient and the therapist. The patient, seen from the side, is engaging in exercises that involve gentle stretching and reaching movements, under the close guidance of the therapist. The therapist, a figure of support and encouragement, is attentively assisting the patient, ensuring the correct posture and movement. The environment suggests warmth, encouragement, and a path towards recovery, without any artificial limbs or devices.
