Yesterday was World Stroke day, and the American Stroke Association has highlighted how important rehabilitation is for stroke survivors. Strokes are the second leading cause of death worldwide, with around 800,000 occurring yearly in the US alone. The easiest way to spot a stroke is to remember FAST, face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, time to call 9-1-1. When you report the stroke, be sure to note the time that the symptoms began showing, as it is key for treatment. For more information, visit www.StrokeAssociation.org/WorldStrokeDay.
