What is a Stroke?
A stroke is a "brain attack" that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off, depriving brain cells of oxygen and causing them to die. This damage can lead to lasting disability. In India, stroke is a leading cause of disability, with studies showing that roughly 70% of survivors require ongoing assistance with daily activities. This makes specialized rehabilitation an absolute necessity.
There are two main types of stroke:
- Ischemic Stroke: This is the most common type, caused by a blood clot that blocks an artery in the brain.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: This occurs when a weakened blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding tissue.
Recognizing the signs and acting F.A.S.T. is critical:
- F - Face Drooping: Is one side of the face numb or drooping?
- A - Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or unable to be lifted?
- S - Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred or hard to understand?
- T - Time to Call for Help: Immediate medical attention is crucial
Introduction to Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation is a specialized, proactive program designed to help you relearn skills lost after brain damage. It is built on the principle of neuroplasticity—the brain's amazing ability to rewire itself. Through intensive, repetitive, and task-specific therapy, we can encourage healthy parts of the brain to take over the functions of the damaged areas.
The goal is to maximize your functional independence, improve your quality of life, and help you return to your community. The first 3-6 months after a stroke are often called the "Golden Period" because the brain is most capable of rapid change, making early and intensive rehabilitation essential.
