1. What
is Stroke
A Stroke occurs when a person experiences damage to an area of tissue
in the brain as a result of a blood clot in the brain (Cerebral thrombosis
or cerebral embolism), or from a ruptured artery causing extreme
bleeding(cerebral haemorrhage) in the brain.
The part of the brain
where the clotting, or haemorrhage occurred affects certain areas
of physical functioning (Refer to the above diagram which illustrates
the major functions of various parts or lobes of the brain).
