Upon this event, one part of the human brain is not able to get the blood and oxygen it requires, thus the cells there die or decay. There are numerous ways to tell if you’ll experience stroke these signs and symptoms

Part IV: Complication of Cerebrovascular Stroke and its recurrence: Complications that threaten a person's life may develop soon after stroke symptoms occur. The complications of CVS recurrence can be divided into medical complications (related to bed ridden, extremities) and neurological complication (Stroke Association. 2015). Medical complication: a) Complications related to bed ridden: 1. Hemorrhagic transformation: It may occur one to two days after infection. It is manifested by neurological

Stroke critical care pathway and commenced and care provided as per protocol.. Stroke is a serious and deadly condition including cerebral circulation within the brain and can extremely affect

Strokes Anyone at any age or time can undergo a stroke within their brain. In fact, the fifth leading cause of deaths in the U.S. can be attributed to strokes and on a yearly basis about 800,000 people suffer from strokes. (What is a Stroke?) With a 60% majority, females are more apt to suffer a death by stroke, as compared to males. (About Stroke.) If a stroke were to occur, early diagnosis and treatment are the only ways one may minimize the terrible, life altering consequences from the deceased

Population Report on Individuals with Stroke The purpose of this report is to provide a brief overview about stroke which includes describing the demographics, characteristics, and challenges of the disease. Additionally, this report will explain current medical and educational issues, non-music therapy treatment trends, and current effective therapeutic interventions regarding stroke. Near the end, a specific piece of information will be provided that the author of this report deems important for

Introduction A Stroke also called brain attack, occurs when a clot block the blood supply going to the brain or there is a hemorrhage in it. Nerves in the brain requires a continuous supply of blood, oxygen and glucose to function properly. If there is impairment of this supply then the brain may stop functioning temporarily and if this impairment is severe enough then permanent brain damage could occur. As the brain control the body, so the patient could experience symptoms depending upon which

neurological conditions in the world is a stroke and it is the number one reason for hospitalizations among neurological diseases.1 “Stroke is a disease that is the fifth leading cause of death and is the number one cause of long-term disability in the United States.2 There are approximately 4 million Americans living with the effects of a stroke.”3 Even though the scientific realm has made progress in learning about neural plasticity and motor rehabilitation stroke patients still often times present chronic

lake of oxygen in the brain for 5 to 10-minute results in permanent brain damage or occurs a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of our brain is interrupted or severely reduced. A stroke is one of the diseases

include 1) Stroke and its prevalence, 2) Impairments following stroke, 3) Balance, mobility and gait after stroke, 4) Gait impairment after stroke, 5) Weakness following stroke, 6) strength deficit following stroke, 7) Strength training in stroke population, 8) Post-stroke rehabilitation and role of therapist, 9) outcome measures. This thesis was designed to analyze the efficacy of intensive strength training exercises on balance and mobility in post-stroke populations. 3.2. Stroke 3.2.1. Definition
