Stroke is topic within the Occupational Therapy practice area
and is a topic of interest for me. I have worked with a few clients on my first
fieldwork experience that have had strokes and I found this to be very
interesting and helped widen my knowledge about strokes. I am really looking
forward to working with individuals who have suffered from a stroke in future
placements or future practice. Below I have chosen five videos about Stroke
that I found very interesting. I chose 5 very different videos so that those
reading could expand their knowledge base about Stroke and gain a better
understanding. These videos will help to explain what a stroke is, some of the effects of a stroke, and some symptoms of a stroke.
They will also show a victim who has gone through an intense rehabilitation to
recover from her stroke, and shows us some amazing technology that will allow
stroke victims to do things they previously couldn’t.
This first video is an animation that
provides a brief overview of what a stroke is, and what is be happening in the
brain when a stroke occurs.
This second video is about some of the
effects that may come from having a stroke.
The next video outlines some of the
symptoms that could occur when having a stroke.
This next video is about an individual who
has suffered from a stroke, and recovered.
This last video is about stroke victims who
are paralyzed being able to move a robotic arm with only their thoughts.
