This case study analyzes the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the treatment of a female patient, aged 65 years, with hypertension who had a history of subdural hematoma (SDH) secondary to a distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysm rupture. For that, she underwent DACA aneurysm clipping surgery and developed a disability on the right side of her body. The patient had diminished functional independence, weak muscles, and restricted mobility when she first arrived. A thorough physiotherapy program was developed with the goals of increasing mobility, building independence in daily living tasks, and improving motor function. Adapted to the patient's particular requirements and limits, the intervention included therapeutic exercises, gait training, balancing exercises, and functional training. Assessments were carried out on a regular basis to track improvement and modify the treatment plan as necessary. The patient's motor function, mobility, and functional independence were significantly improved during the intervention. Physiotherapy played a crucial role in significantly improving the patient's recovery, quality of life, and right-side disability following the DACA aneurysm clipping surgery. The presented case study clearly highlights the value of early and focused physiotherapy intervention in the effective management of neurological impairments and in achieving better rehabilitation outcomes in patients with similar medical presentations.
