What is a Stroke?

A stroke is characterised by an interruption of blood flow to an area within the brain. This can occur by either a blockage (ischemic stroke) or a bleed (hemorrhagic stroke). This interruption of blood flow or bleed into the brain, can lead to brain cell death, as the brain is deprived of oxygen and nutrients. Depending on the location and the extent of the bleed or blockage, stroke survivors will display different motor and non motor symptoms and have differing rates of recovery.
