Ki ete enn atak?

Stroke is commonly known as “brain attack”. A stroke occurs when blood cannot flow to your brain because of blood clots or narrowed blood vessels. A stroke can also be caused by bleeding inside the brain. During a stroke, the brain tissue cannot receive oxygen and nutrients and as a result, the brain cells begin to die within minutes of a stroke. Stroke survivors suffer from serious problems such as loss of movement, loss of sensation, loss of vision and difficulty walking. In more severe cases, stroke can even cause death.

reabilitasyon

The goal of stroke rehabilitation is to help a person relearn skills lost after a stroke affects part of the brain. Stroke rehabilitation can help a stroke survivor regain function, independence and improve his/her quality of life. Research has shown that stroke survivors who participate in a focused stroke rehabilitation program are more likely to regain function and perform better than most people who don't have stroke rehabilitation.
