DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS
What is the most common type of stroke?
What is ischemic stroke?
(87% of strokes!)
An increase in resistance to sudden, passive movement and is velocity dependent
What is Spasticity?
What time frame can a patient be mobilized after receiving tPA?
(if not cleared by MD prior)
What is 24 hours?
A patient is experiencing central vision loss and prosopagnosia post-stroke. Which lobe is the infarction most likely located?
What is occipital lobe?
Anticoagulants and thrombotics increase the risk of this type of stroke.
What is intra cerebral hemorrhagic stroke?
The abnormal execution of multi-jointed voluntary movements, characterized by lack of coordination.
What is Ataxia?
A stroke-validated outcome tool that is a measure of static and dynamic standing balance as well as function.
What is Berg Balance Scale?
A patient is experiencing sensory deficits and difficulty with spatial awareness post-stroke. Which lobe is the infarction most likely located?
What is the Parietal Lobe?
What is the most common cause of an intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke?
What is hypertension?
Expressive Aphasia (another term for)

What is maintaining the Airway?
Postural pattern noted to have flexion is UEs and extension in LEs
