What is a stroke?
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving it of vital oxygen and nutrients. A stroke can cause lasting damage to the brain. The part of the brain that is affected by the stroke may not be able to function properly. This can lead to problems with movement, speech, and thinking.
There are a number of common symptoms that can occur following a stroke. These may include paralysis or weakness on one side of the body, problems with speech and understanding, difficulty in swallowing, vision problems, dizziness, or problems with balance and coordination.
What are the most common types of stroke?
There are two types of stroke: ischaemic stroke (caused by a blockage to the blood flow to the brain) and haemorrhagic stroke (caused by bleeding into the brain – also known as intracerebral haemorrhage, or around the brain – called a subarachnoid haemorrhage).
Treatment and rehabilitation after stroke can help you to relearn skills and improve your quality of life. The sooner you begin stroke rehabilitation, the more likely you will be to regain abilities and skills.
