Sudden loss of blood flow to the brain, causing brain cell death. Also known as a stroke.

A stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain.

A stroke caused by a blood vessel bursting in the brain, leading to bleeding.

Factors that can be changed to reduce your stroke risk (e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol).

Symptoms vary, depending on the brain area affected (e.g., weakness, speech problems, vision loss).

Weakness or numbness on one side of the body.

Difficulty speaking or understanding language.

Can lead to permanent disability or death.

Stroke recovery can take many months or years.

Early and comprehensive rehabilitation improves stroke outcomes.

Quick diagnosis and referral to a stroke team is critical for reperfusion therapies.

Stroke patients are admitted to a hospital stroke unit for interdisciplinary care.

Stroke patients should start moving (out of bed) within 48 hours, unless medically contraindicated.

Stroke rehabilitation should include scheduled occupational and physical therapy sessions.

A team of healthcare professionals, like physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, social workers, etc., works together to help stroke survivors.

Physiotherapy goals should be collaborative, specific, well-defined, and challenging for stroke survivors.

Clinical guidelines for managing stroke, developed for Australia and New Zealand.

Starting physical activity within 24 hours of a stroke.

Exercise program increasing resistance to build strength after stroke.

Measures how much effort is put into stroke recovery sessions.

Impact of the amount of therapy on stroke recovery.

When to start physical rehabilitation after stroke.

Effectiveness of various rehabilitation strategies in stroke recovery.

Establishing achievable goals to guide stroke recovery.

A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is suddenly interrupted. This can be due to a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a burst blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).

Common stroke signs include: weakness on one side of the body, speech difficulties, dizziness, vision changes, severe headache, trouble swallowing, and cognitive problems.

Hemiplegia is weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body.

Stroke occurs when an artery in the brain gets blocked or bursts, interrupting blood flow to the brain.

A cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the medical term for a stroke, which is often caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a bleeding vessel (hemorrhagic stroke) in the brain.

Factors we can modify to reduce Stroke risk include: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity/overweight, diet, lack of exercise and alcohol.

Factors we cannot control that increase CVA risk include: age, gender, family history, and certain medical conditions like atrial fibrillation.

An ischemic stroke happens when a blood clot or other blockage obstructs an artery in the brain, cutting off blood flow and causing brain cell death.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain, causing bleeding into the brain tissue, damaging nearby cells.

Common stroke symptoms include weakness or numbness on one side of the body, slurred speech, sudden vision changes, dizziness, severe headaches, difficulty swallowing, and confusion.

A stroke can lead to various impairments, including weakness or paralysis, speech difficulties, and cognitive problems. The severity of the stroke affects the potential for recovery.

The risk of stroke increases significantly with age, however, strokes are uncommon in people under 40 years of age.

A group of healthcare professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating strokes, including doctors, nurses, therapists, and other specialists.

Treatments aimed at restoring blood flow to the brain after a stroke, like using medications to dissolve blood clots or surgery to open blocked arteries.

Predetermined guidelines and procedures used to manage common stroke complications like fever, blood sugar issues, and swallowing problems.

Getting a stroke survivor out of bed and moving around to promote physical activity and recovery.

A type of therapy where a group of stroke survivors does a series of exercises together, increasing the intensity and duration of therapy.

Working together with the stroke survivor and their family to set achievable and personalized recovery goals.

A type of exercise that gradually increases the amount of weight or resistance used to strengthen muscles after a stroke.

An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot or other blockage obstructs an artery in the brain, cutting off blood flow and causing brain cell death.

A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain, causing bleeding into the brain tissue, damaging nearby cells.

Starting physical activity within 24 hours of a stroke onset, as long as it's medically safe. It helps improve recovery and reduces complications.

A type of exercise that gradually increases the resistance to build strength and endurance after a stroke. It helps improve muscle function.

The amount of effort put into stroke recovery sessions. It's important to find the right balance of challenge and rest for each individual.

The impact of the amount of therapy on stroke recovery. Generally, more therapy leads to better outcomes, but it's important to find the right amount for each individual.

Ideally, physical rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible after a stroke, within 24 hours, if medically safe. This early intervention can significantly improve recovery.

Early and comprehensive rehabilitation helps improve functional abilities, reduce disability, and increase independence in stroke survivors.

Stroke rehabilitation involves a multidisciplinary team, including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, and others, all working together to help stroke survivors.

Physiotherapy goals should be collaborative, specific, well-defined, and challenging for each stroke survivor. It should be a shared process between the therapist and patient.
