Strokes and post-stroke recovery

“Strokes and post-stroke recovery”

Stroke is one of the primary causes of permanent disabilities in the world. Although technology and medical developments have made it possible to recover after a stroke, some stroke survivors have remained disabled. These patients have to live with severe impacts and considerable disabilities.

Unfortunately, due to the lifestyle of the new age, the number of strokes is rising. If society doesn't take care of the vast number of stroke survivors, the range of disabilities will get more in our world.

Therefore, we need changes, new strategies, and plans to help stroke survivors in their rehabilitation.

After the stroke, the most crucial recovery function is "healing brain function" and "rehabbing the lost power of body organs."

What is the real definition of stoke?

There is no simple answer to this question, but in short, poor blood flow to the brain causes cells to die.

A stroke's signs and symptoms may include an inability to move or feel on one side of the body, problems understanding or speaking, dizziness, or loss of vision to one side.

Signs and symptoms often appear soon after the stroke has occurred. If symptoms last less than one or two hours, the stroke is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also called a mini-stroke.

How to recover from a stroke?

During rehabilitation, the disabled parts of the body undergo treatment.

Over time, they recover and come back to normal life again.

The sooner the rehabilitation process starts, the better and easier the patients or their bodies respond to the treatment.

Also, some stroke survivors may need only a few days of rehabilitation, and for some, it might even take a year.

This process includes exercises, medication, and diet.

If patients commit to a well-planned rehabilitation process, their disabilities will reduce to a great extent.
