Understanding Stroke Symptoms that Require Rehab Services

Cerebrovascular Accident, or CVA, is commonly known as a stroke and can occur either from a brain bleed (hemorrhage) or from a blood clot (ischemia).

It can also occur within several different arteries in the brain and thus present with a variety of clinical presentations, like weakness or hemiplegia/hemiparesis along an arm or leg, facial drooping, difficulty with motor coordination, difficulty with word finding, difficulty with speech or swallowing, difficulty with walking or performing dressing, bathing and bed mobility tasks.

Stroke symptoms require immediate attention and include:

  • Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.

  • Confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech.

  • Trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

  • Difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.

  • Severe headache with no known cause.
