The reasons for the blood supply interruption fall into two categories:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ischemic Stroke<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; caused when a blood clot blocks an artery\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hemorrhagic stroke <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; caused when there is bleeding in or around the brain\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every stroke causes some degree of brain injury by disrupting the normal function of the brain, resulting in brain injury, and known and unknown complications affecting the ability to move, think, and speak, as well as overall health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why do complications occur after a stroke?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b>Disruption of pathways or function: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Damage to specific pathways in the brain can result in physical, cognitive, or emotional problems with a trajectory of healing (obtained from the above list of examples).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Secondary conditions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Issues related to immobility, side effects of medications, and the consequences of pre-existing conditions (diabetes, hypertension, etc.).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Complications_following_Stroke\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Major Complications following Stroke<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Physical Complications<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Motor Impairments\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paralysis or weakness on one side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis).
