POST- STROKE EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTIONS

Dr Tanveer Dabria

Abstract


Stroke is an acute condition,with compromise of the blood perfusion to the brain.Majority of the strokes are ischemic , while minority are
hemorrhagic.
Around more than 140,000 people die of stroke every year in United States , that is every 1 in 20 deaths are because of stroke.And stroke is a
leading cause of serious long term disabilities as well.
Stroke recovery often puts long term and intense rehabilitation.Even if the physical recovery is achieved psychological and social recoveries can
persist reducing the quality of life in stroke survivors.
Executive dysfunction is one of the many consequences a post stroke patient can face,making it important for the physician to screen stroke
patients.
Because there are many promising interventions ,early recognition and cognition rehabilitation can help the patients gain more independence with
activities of daily living.
