Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke is defined a sudden neurological impairment resulting from interruption of the blood supply and brain tissue damage. The most common symptom of a stroke is sudden weakness and/or numbness of the face, arms or legs, most often on one side of the body. Other symptoms include: confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech; difficulty seeing with one or both eyes; difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; severe headache with no known causes; fainting or unconsciousness. Generally stroke means compromise of arterial blood supply (arterial stroke). Venous stroke is very rare in adult but not uncommon in children.
