STROKE / PARALYSIS

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted due to a blocked or ruptured blood vessel, leading to brain cell damage. This can result in paralysis, affecting one side of the body, speech difficulties, memory loss, and impaired coordination. Common causes include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and heart disease. Immediate medical attention is crucial to minimize brain damage. Treatment includes clot-dissolving medications, rehabilitation therapies, and lifestyle changes.

Paralysis from a stroke can be temporary or permanent, depending on the severity. Physical therapy and medications help improve mobility and quality of life for affected individuals.
