Response to Stroke of Insight

facilitators for establishing comprehensive stroke units: a multidisciplinary survey Question 1: What is your view of the quality of the article? This article is well written with good general flow of thought and easy for the reader to follow. Survey methodology is employed to capture data for quantitative analysis.1 The question asked pertains to a “comprehensive stroke unit (CSU)” model of care.

In the elderly population around the world, stroke is an unavoidable circumstance. In recent years, professionals in the Communication Sciences and Disorders discipline have spent countless hours studying Dysphagia and its causes and most effective treatment methods. My research yielded that stroke is the main cause and that diet modification is the most effective treatment method. Through much research and testing, various ways to modify a patient’s diet have been noticed. My research over the

Effects of Ischemic Stroke When a brain artery is blocked, an ischemic stroke occurs and electrical activity is compromised. The areas of injury in the brain are the core ischemic zone (the main area that blood flow is at its lowest) and the ischemic penumbra (surrounding area). Neurons carry necessary oxygen and glucose to the brain. When the brain is deprived of oxygen and glucose, brain cells, glial cells, and vascular cells are affected depending on the amount of blood supply and duration

others diagnosed as schizophrenic. However, on December 10, 1996, Dr. Jill Taylor suffered a mental disorder of her own, a stroke. After eight years of recovery, Dr. Taylor believed her stoke could be of use to neuroscientists and psychiatrists. In an emotional TED Talk, Dr. Taylor described specific anatomical areas of the brain and how these areas were affected during her stroke. Using a real human brain, Dr. Taylor explained the separation of the brain’s right and left hemispheres. The two cerebral

3. Understanding motor learning applied to rehabilitation The ability to walk may be compromised after damage to structures of the neural system due to a spinal cord injury (SCI) or a stroke. Frequently, patients in rehabilitation have an altered neural control leading to an inaccurate, slow or inefficient performance of the movement (Bastian, 2008). Thus, a main goal in the walking rehabilitation process is to learn how to perform a movement again, recovering motor function, by incorporating motor
