Causes of Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain cell damage. Common causes include:

  • Blood Clots (Ischemic Stroke) – Blockage in brain arteries.
  • Hemorrhagic Stroke – Rupture of blood vessels in the brain.
  • High Blood Pressure & Hypertension – Weakens arteries over time.
  • Heart Disease & High Cholesterol – Leads to plaque buildup in blood vessels.
  • Diabetes & Obesity – Increases the risk of stroke.
  • Smoking & Alcohol Consumption – Contributes to vascular damage.

Symptoms of Stroke

Recognizing stroke symptoms early is crucial. The FAST method helps identify warning signs:

  • F – Face Drooping: Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the face.
  • A – Arm Weakness: Difficulty raising one or both arms.
  • S – Speech Difficulty: Slurred or unclear speech.
  • T – Time to Act: Seek medical help immediately if any of these symptoms appear.

Other symptoms include sudden confusion, vision problems, dizziness, loss of balance, or severe headaches.

Stroke Rehabilitation Treatment

Effective rehabilitation focuses on restoring movement, improving function, and enhancing daily living skills. Treatment includes:

  • Physiotherapy for Mobility & Strength: Exercises to restore walking, balance, and coordination.
  • Neuromuscular Training: Helps regain control over affected muscles.
  • Gait Training & Postural Correction: Improves stability and prevents falls.
  • Speech & Swallowing Therapy: For those experiencing communication or swallowing difficulties.
  • Occupational Therapy: Helps patients relearn daily activities like dressing, eating, and writing.
  • Electrical Stimulation & Assistive Devices: Enhances muscle strength and mobility.

Reducing stroke risk involves lifestyle changes and proper medical care:

  • Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure & Cholesterol Levels
  • Follow a Balanced Diet & Exercise Regularly
  • Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol Consumption
