Physical Symptoms After a Stroke

When blood flow to the brain is blocked by a clot or failing artery, it causes a stroke that can cause severe long-term effects. The most common physical symptoms of stroke include:

• Paralysis - Partial paralysis often affects one side of the body, like one arm or leg or the muscles on one side of the face.
• Balance and Coordination Issues - Balance and coordinating movements (ataxia) are common issues after a stroke.
• Muscle Weakness - Muscle weakness may be one-sided or may be a problem on both sides. Patients may have trouble with holding objects, walking, swallowing, or their bowel and/or bladder. 
• Spasticity  - Sudden, uncontrolled movements are a troublesome symptom after a stroke.
• Vision Problems - Patients may develop impaired vision, blind spots, or tunnel vision depending on where the stroke happened in the brain.

Nobody wants to live long-term with these symptoms, so Certified Stroke Rehabilitation at Function Better Physical Therapy Mega Center in Yorkville, NY, works to improve and often resolve these issues.
