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.

Three types of stroke as classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), including:

  • Ischaemic stroke: Blood clot blocks blood supply to the brain
  • Haemorrhagic stroke: Blood vessel bursts and bleeds into the brain tissue
  • Transient ischaemic attack (TIA): A mini-stroke with temporary symptoms signalling a higher risk of full stroke

All three types can cause lasting physical, cognitive, and behavioural changes.

Impact of Stroke

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

Mobility and Activities of Daily Living (ADL)

  • Weakness on one side of the body or problems with coordination and balance
  • Difficulty moving around and carrying out daily routines such as feeding, showering, and dressing

Nutrition Support

  • Difficulty swallowing
  • May need to be on a special food consistency
  • Supplements may be prescribed to meet your daily nutritional requirements

Cognitive Impact

  • May have poor memory attention or difficulty with thinking and reasoning
  • May affect your ability to perform certain tasks and make decisions

Behaviour and Personality

  • Difficulty regulating emotions, decision making and judgement
  • Changes include: aggression, apathy, disinhibition, emotional lability, irritability, and impulsivity
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.

FAQs about Stroke Care in Malaysia

Post-stroke care refers to the medical, rehabilitative, and personal support provided after a stroke to help survivors regain function and independence. It typically includes physiotherapy, speech therapy, nursing care, and daily living assistance. Care can be provided in a nursing home, step-down care facility, or at home, depending on the severity of the stroke and the patient’s recovery progress.
Stroke rehabilitation includes physiotherapy to rebuild movement and strength, speech therapy to address communication and swallowing difficulties, and daily living training to restore independence. Some facilities integrate TCM acupuncture alongside conventional therapy to support neurological recovery. A multidisciplinary care team sets personalised goals and tracks progress throughout the recovery process.
A stroke nursing care plan is a structured guide developed by the nursing team to direct personalised care for a stroke patient. It outlines the patient’s specific needs, care goals, nursing interventions, and progress monitoring protocols. At ECON Healthcare, care plans cover mobility support, medication management, nutrition, and rehabilitation goals, reviewed and updated throughout the patient’s recovery stay.
Stroke recovery varies depending on the severity of the stroke and the areas of the brain affected. Some survivors regain function within weeks, while others continue to improve over months or years. Most significant recovery occurs within the first three to six months after a stroke. Early and consistent rehabilitation is closely linked to better long-term recovery outcomes.
Physiotherapy helps stroke patients regain movement, strength, balance, and independence by retraining the brain and muscles affected by the stroke. Sessions focus on functional goals such as walking, transfers, and daily activities. At ECON Healthcare, physiotherapy is available as part of our residential nursing home programmes and on a home care basis for stroke survivors across Malaysia.
Nursing care for stroke patients at home includes assistance with daily activities such as bathing, feeding, and dressing, medication management, mobility support, and health monitoring. Home nursing carers are trained to support stroke survivors with physical limitations and help them relearn daily skills. At ECON Healthcare, home care is available across the Klang Valley and Johor Bahru on a short-term or long-term basis.
Rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible after a stroke, once a patient is medically stable. Early intervention helps the brain relearn movement, communication, and daily skills more effectively. Post-acute step-down care and structured rehabilitation programmes are started within days to weeks of hospital discharge, depending on the patient’s overall condition and recovery progress.
TCM acupuncture is used alongside conventional physiotherapy in post-stroke rehabilitation to support neurological recovery. It is believed to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle stiffness, and stimulate recovery in affected areas of the body. At ECON Healthcare, TCM acupuncture is included in the 7-Day Post Stroke and Neurological Recovery Programme as part of an integrated Western and TCM approach to stroke rehabilitation.
