Stroke What is stroke? A stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off. Strokes are a medical emergency and prompt treatment is essential because the sooner a person receives treatment for a stroke‚ the less damage is likely to happen. Ischemic strokes Ischaemic strokes‚ the most common type of stroke‚ occur when blood clots block the flow of blood to the brain. Blood clots typically form in areas where the arteries have been narrowed

Physical Therapy Of A Stroke Patient Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability. A stroke occurs when the blood supply and part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced. Which deprive brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Eventually‚ brain cells begin to die. Prompt treatment is very crucial. Early action can minimize brain damage and potential complications. However‚ a stroke may be caused by a blocked artery or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel. Some people may experience

Background A stroke is a disease that is eventually referring to the term "brain attack". The brain attacks causes the brain cells to die and eventually the ability that is covered by that part of the brain will be lost. The loss of ability is usually include many abilities. However‚ stroke can affect the patient in different ways as due to the part of the brain that is damaged and how severe the damage might be.

Introduction A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is partially or completely reduced‚ depriving the brain of necessary blood and oxygen and ultimately causing brain damage. There are two main types of stroke‚ ischemic and hemorrhagic‚ but for the purpose of this paper‚ the focus will be on ischemic stroke. Ischemic strokes account for approximately 87% of all stoke cases and occur as the result of an obstruction within a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain. The obstruction

An ischemic is considered as the third leading cause of death in the United States among other chronic diseases. Even though this chronic disease affects every ethnicity‚ the African American population and females are more likely to have a stroke than any other population (Mir‚ Al-Baradie‚ & Alhussainawi). A stroke can range from acute to chronic

A stroke happens when the blood supply to some portion of your cerebrum is hindered or extremely decreased. This denies the brain of oxygen and nutrients leaving brain cells to die in just minutes. About every minute in the United States‚ someone suffers from a stroke. Strokes are the second leading cause of death in the US. Common symptoms of a stroke are as follows: drooping of the face‚ difficultly with vision‚ fast onset of a severe migraine‚ difficultly walking‚ and possibly paralysis of
