Understanding Stroke

Understanding Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted and can result in brain damage. When you have a stroke, the side of your body opposite to the brain may become weak and numb. The size and location of the brain damage will affect the rate and extent of recovery of the stroke survivor.

Stroke affects different individuals in different ways. One survivor may not experience all the consequences of stroke.

  • Supplements may be prescribed to meet your daily nutritional requirements

Cognitive Impact

  • May affect your ability to perform certain tasks and make decisions

Supporting a Loved One with Stroke

Supporting a Loved One with Stroke

Having a strong support system is an important part of the care journey. Stroke survivors are at a high risk of having another stroke. You can reduce the risks by ensuring your loved one is eating well, exercising regularly, and keeping to the post-stroke care plan prescribed by their healthcare provider.

If your loved one experiences imbalance that results in falls, inability to walk for a short period of time without stopping to rest, or inability to participate in daily activities, please consider physiotherapy or rehabilitation.
