Empowering stroke survivors: understanding the role of multidisciplinary rehabilitation Impact of stroke
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, with someone having a stroke every 40 seconds in the United-States[1]. A stroke can occur by clot that interrupts blood flow in the brain. It can also be caused by a burst of a blood vessel that causes bleeding in the brain. There are also other unknown causes of stroke which occur less frequently. A stroke causes brain cells to die as they no longer receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Some of the most common risk factors of stroke are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart diseases, diabetes, smoking, physical inactivity, and obesity[2].
