Stroke occurs when an individual experiences a reduction or an obstruction of blood flow to the brain. This can take place due to blocked/narrowed arteries (Ischemic Stroke), leaked/open blood vessels (Hemorrhagic Stroke) or temporarily disrupted blood flow to the brain (Transient Ischemic Attack). As a result, the brain’s disrupted supply of oxygen and nutrients causes brain cells to die. Stroke is a very serious and common global health-care problem and is a leading cause of death in many developed and developing countries.
For most who survive the initial attack of a stroke, stroke patients continue to live with long-term impairments. The most common and recognized form of impairment following a stroke is motor impairment. Motor impairment
