Signs of a stroke include:
Sudden dizziness or lightheadedness
Numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body
Trouble talking, understanding, or writing
Vision problems, like blurry or double vision
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation is a special training program to help you learn how to do things again after a stroke. It can help you with things like moving around, talking, getting stronger, and doing everyday tasks.
Everyone’s recovery from a stroke is different. Some people get better faster than others. But studies show that people who go through stroke rehabilitation usually do better than those who don’t. That’s why it’s recommended for everyone who has had a stroke.
