A stroke occurs when there is a sudden loss of blood flow to a part of the brain. This can cause a range of symptoms, depending on the size and location of the stroke. Some common symptoms include weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, and problems with vision or balance.

Strokes are a leading cause of disability in the United States. They can have a profound impact on both the physical and emotional health of survivors. Survivors may experience physical impairments, such as paralysis or difficulty walking. They may also experience cognitive impairments, such as memory loss or difficulty concentrating. In addition to the physical and cognitive challenges, survivors may also experience emotional challenges, such as depression or anxiety.
