Your Complete Recovery Toolkit
Everything you need to take control of your stroke recovery journey. From understanding your condition to tracking your progress, these tools have been tested and proven effective.
Understanding Stroke
Knowledge is power in recovery. Understanding what happened to your brain and body is the first step toward taking control of your healing journey.
What is a Stroke?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
Types of Stroke
- Ischemic Stroke (87%): Caused by blocked blood vessels
- Hemorrhagic Stroke (13%): Caused by bleeding in the brain
- TIA: "Mini-stroke" with temporary symptoms
The Good News: Neuroplasticity
Your brain has an amazing ability to rewire itself and form new connections. This means recovery is possible at any stage, with the right approach and consistent effort.
Target: <130/80
LDL: <70 mg/dL
A1C: <7%
Target: 18.5-24.9
