There are certain common symptoms of a stroke including the following:

• Paralysis or weakness of one side of the body
• Dysarthria - muscles of speech impaired causing slurring
• Dysphagia - muscles of swallowing impaired
• Visual deficits - double vision, decreased visual acuity
• Sensory impairment - absent or diminished response to touch, pain, pressure
• Dysphasia - difficulty in expression and/or comprehension
• Intellectual impairment - memory loss, poor judgement or reasoning

Despite the seriousness of the condition, there is now much that can be done to improve the life of a stroke victim and much that can be done to help the patient's family cope longer term. The sooner rehabilitation treatment begins, the better the chance of a good outcome.
