    A Brief Overview Of Strokes And Traumatic Brain Injuries

    Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, either due to a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a broken blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).

    Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) result from a sudden impact or force to the head, causing damage to the brain. TBIs can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, and common causes include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and assaults.

    How a Stroke or TBI can Impact Your Daily Activities

    Both strokes and traumatic brain injuries can have significant and lasting effects on daily life. Depending on the severity and location of the injury, individuals may experience physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments.

    These may include:

    • Muscle weakness or paralysis,
    • Balance and coordination problems,
    • Difficulty with speech and communication,
    • Memory loss, and
    • Emotional challenges such as depression and anxiety.
