Hi,
Stroke rehabilitation, or, , stroke recovery, is the process by which patients with disabling strokes undergo treatment to help them return to normal life as much as possible by regaining and relearning the skills of everyday living. It is multidisciplinary in that it involves a team with different skills working together to help the patient.
Therapeutic recreation works on several areas including problem solving, improving movement and re-entry into the community through familiar, new, and adaptive leisure skills. Speech and language therapy is appropriate for patients who have problems understanding speech or written words, or problems forming speech.
She may also require help from a psychologist to cope up with ger condition.Take good care of her and hope she gets well soon.
On June 5th a day after my 27th birthday I had a stroke. Before my stroke I was just a normal relatively healthy 26 year old. I had an active lifestyle that included walked or running 4 to 7 miles daily. Eating healthy and organic when possible. I was rushed to the ER by my boyfriend the morning of my stroke. Prior to my realization that I was having a stroke. I felt tired, couldn't stand up straight. And was leaning on the walls to help steady myself while I walked.
I am sorry to hear about your father’s medical problems. Post stroke the residual neurological symptoms and speech may improve or it may not. It depends on the location and size of the defect causing the stroke. You must take him to a speech therapist and his neurologist to assess whether speech will come back or not. Speech therapy, physical therapy and motivation is important for recovery. Take care!
My mom, 66 years old, suffered a big ischemic stroke on the left side of her brain 2 weeks ago on January 30th, 2013. We were lucky that my brother was home when it happened and called 911. She was in the ER within 35 minutes of the time it happened. Three hours passed before we were told that yes, she was indeed a candidate to receive TPA in order to help dissolve the clot.
The stroke left her right side paralyzed and she also has difficulty with her speech and swallowing.
I had a hemorrhagic stroke in Feb, 2008. I was 52 at the time. I still have problems with feelings in my fingers and general uncoordination of my right arm. I read about a medicide not approved by the FDA but it looks promising. Because it's not FDA approved, its not cavered by insurance and very expensive. Has anybody heard of it and has some experience or knowledge of how it works. The product is called 'Neuroaid'.
Sorry to hear about the stroke, and the problems associated with brain's left side. The left side brain stroke will effect the right side producing some or all of the following:
Paralysis on the right side of the body,
Speech/language problems
Slow, cautious behavioral style
Memory loss.
The coma can last a long time. There is no way to predict
Worst case scenario.
t know the answer. I can share with you that my aunt had a stroke, She lost her speech, swallowing, and right side strength. She got her speech and swallowing back. She did have terrible agitation and confusion a few times per week. They had to try two different medications. Risperidone on a very low dose. It did not quite work. Then Depakote. After 7 days on Depakote it affected her swallowing much worse than when she had her stroke. But she could have just has a stroke relapse.
Diseases of the brainstem can result to abnormalities in the function of cranial nerves which may lead to visual disturbances, pupil abnormalities, changes in sensation, muscle weakness, hearing problems, vertigo, swallowing and speech difficulty, voice change, and co-ordination problems".

My Dad had been suffering from Brain hamorrage on left side and right side completely paralysis.He had recovering day by day by physiotherapy daily unfortunately he couldn't speek but he has voice. He had been consulted by Speech therapist Doctor.Why he couldn't speek yet even he had stroke since one year ago? Is there any treatment so that he can speek like before?
My experience is limited, and with the super elderly with stroke disorders. Dysphagia has to be evaluated by a specialist in this disorder, and they do not always figure out the etiology. I can only speak of one case of a woman in her late 90's in which, following a stroke, the ability to swallow did return after eight months. I would not give up hope.There is a great deal of redundancy in the human nervous system.
He still experiences all of these problems and prevents him from working. He took speech therapy for 3 months with no change. He sees a neurologist monthly and nobody has any answers. He did have a videostroboscopy last week and the speech pathologist said that he is having spasms and suggested we get a second opinion as to what is causing this. They suggested going to the Cleveland Clinic or the Mayo clinic which we can't afford to make it there at this time.
I had stroke at the age of 26. Do you know anyone that's happen to? My neurologist a
Said they couldn't find any reason this should have happen to me.
2013, he received the clot buster shot with in 2 hours. After a couple of days he was completely the same physically. His problems are speech and mental. He has had 2 spells since where he was hospitalized, they did not know the first time if it was a mini stroke, on the second time they ruled out mini strokes and diagnosed him with seizures. He was put on seizure meds, the dosage has been changed 3 times. He seems to be doing well now.
You could talk to your doctor about therapy for speech or language problems. This could include difficulties in problem solving or planning, if you feel you are having such problems.
I suggest you talk to your doctor and try to tell him/her as specifically as possible what types of problems you are having. There may be resources available to help you regain what you lost.
Other things on that side are things like speech, writing and reading, and changes in mood.
What is the follow up for his stroke last week?
