Stroke, depending on its severity, can result in certain motor, cognitive and sensory impairments. While motor deficits after stroke are typically more obvious, cognitive and sensory problems are identified during the course of the rehabilitation process. The link among post-stroke impairments has not specifically been a subject of interest in stroke research until now. These […]

Stroke, depending on its severity, can result in certain motor impairments, which ultimately lead to a few functional challenges. At times, these limitations (caused by neurological deficits) are enhanced by physical deconditioning due to inactivity. The specificity of such impairments varies with the degree of brain damage and the region(s) of the central nervous system […]

A stroke results in certain cognitive impairments, depending on its severity. As per collective research studies, 49 to 91% of the patients suffer cognitive impairment(s) in the first-month post-stroke. These impairments include difficulty in solving problems, memory problems and certain communication challenges. Even when the stroke is mild or the patient shows goods recovery, certain […]

An individual’s sensation can be affected by stroke with either of the loss or reduced touch, the loss or reduced temperature sensation,  hypersensitivity to sensation, the loss of sensation from the bladder or bowel, Paresthesia (Altered sensation) and Proprioception (the sense of the relative position of one’s own parts of the body). If stroke damaged […]

Eye movement problems, visual processing challenges, central vision loss and visual field loss are common stroke-led vision disturbances. About two-thirds of stroke survivors suffer from vision impairment. How an individual is affected depends on exactly where the stroke occurred in the brain. Post-stroke vision problems can fall into two categories – vision loss (or vision […]
