A stroke (cerebral vascular accident) is an injury to the brain, which results in an insufficient oxygen supply to some area of the brain. A stroke is classified as either ischemic or hemorrhagic. Both types of stroke cause a sudden loss of neurological functions. More than eighty percent of all strokes are attributed to ischemia within the blood vessels of the brain. Although a significant number of strokes are the result of bleeding within the brain (hemorrhagic). Symptoms of a stroke might include numbness, loss of sensations and muscle weakness. Most stoke patients suffer from some sort of muscle weakness, which usually affects one side of the body. Treatment options depend upon the type of stroke and individual has suffered. For instance, common treatments for thrombosis (blood clot) related strokes would involve blood-thinning medication, however should the stroke be hemorrhagic the use of blood thinners could cause a fatality. Approximately seventy-five percent of all stroke victims have residual limitations both physical and mental that often make employment impossible.
