 What is Post Stroke Syndrome
???

The Post Stroke Syndrome is an accumulation of side

effects that result after an individual suffers a stroke.

 These side effects are as a result of the brain injuries sustained due to
coagulation in the brain or a cranial haemorrhage. At the point when the
blood supply is obstructed by coagulation, a region of the brain dies, and
this causes those particular areas not to react any longer.

Therefore, the side effects of Post Stroke Syndrome differs generally

and is dependent upon the seriousness of the stroke, the side effects
can go from mellow to extreme.
 Symptoms
The most well-known indications of Post Stroke Syndrome have a

tendency to be the loss of motion to half of the body and one-sided

facial drooping. Another side effect, known as aphasia, results in speech

disorder and impaired understanding of words. A few individuals may

encounter blind spots where part of the eye is influenced.

 Treatments
Nowadays, medical science hasn't come up with a treatment to re-
establish full functionality to patients suffering from post stroke
symptoms. Rehabilitation or post-stroke therapy aims to help stroke
patients relearn lost abilities or skills and improve their quality of life. The
right time to start therapy immediately after stroke is 24-48 hours after
the attack, provided the condition of the sufferer is stable. However,
post-stroke therapy should be started in accordance with the doctor's
recommendations by considering the patient's condition. The duration of
post-stroke therapy is very dependent on the severity and complications
of the stroke, as well as the patient's response to therapy. Therefore, it is
important for patients and their families to discuss with doctors and
therapists, regarding determining the right type of post-stroke therapy.
 Types of treatment
1. Memory therapy

2. Speech therapy

3. Movement therapy
It is an important standard form of stroke physiotherapy. Research
reveals that motion therapies such as treadmills, balance exercise, and weight
lifting, have been shown to improve stroke walking abilities after one year of
training.

Speech, physical and word-related

treatments are the standard therapy for
patients suffering post stroke disorder.
