Explore a range of common questions about stroke, and see how you may benefit from an assessment. If your question still isn’t answered, get in touch – contact us.
A stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) results from an interruption of the blood supply to part of the brain. Although brain cells are unable to recover from the damage caused by a stroke, areas of the brain are able to adapt to learn new tasks and compensate for the area that has been damaged.
Ischemic Stroke: About 80% of strokes are ischemic and result from a clot or blockage forming in the blood vessel, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain cells. The clot can occur at the site of the blockage, or it can travel from other blood vessels in the body and become lodged in the arteries that supply the brain.
Haemorrhagic Stroke: Haemorrhagic strokes result from blood vessels in and around the brain rupturing and causing bleeding in the surrounding areas. This causes a build-up of pressure which damages the delicate tissues. The disruption of the blood supply also results in the cells in the surrounding areas being starved of oxygen.
Transient Ischemic Attack: Transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are often known as mini-strokes. These are brief episodes where some brain function is temporarily lost due to a short disruption of the blood supply. Symptoms, such as limb weakness, last less than 24 hours as the cells in the brain have not been permanently damaged.
