There are two main types of stroke:

Ischemic strokes occur as a result of an obstruction (clot) within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain and account for 87 per cent of all stroke episodes.

Hemorrhagic strokes result from a weakened blood vessel that ruptures and bleeds into the surrounding brain.

The goal in rehabilitation is to improve function so that the stroke survivor can become as independent as possible. This must be accomplished in a way that preserves dignity while motivating the survivor to relearn basic skills the stroke may have taken away – such as eating, dressing and walking.
Activities may include the following:

  • Self-care skills such as feeding, grooming, bathing, and dressing.
  • Mobility skills such as transferring, walking, or moving a wheelchair.
  • Communication skills; cognitive skills such as memory or problem-solving.
  • Social skills for interacting with other people.
