Acute Ischemic Stroke: Diagnosis and Management Approach
Abstract: Stroke is the next chief reason of death worldwide and the foremost reason of debility, with a growing occurrence in emerging countries. Ischemic stroke produced by arterial obstruction is accountable for the majority of strokes. Management focuses on fast reperfusion with endovascular thrombectomy and intravenous thrombolysis, which together decreases debility but are time grave. The important primary stage in stroke maintenance is initial identification of patients with stroke and triage …

To Study the Effects of Butler’s Neuromobilisation and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Lower Limb Sensory Deficits in Chronic Stroke: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Stroke is a leading cause of functional impairments worldwide. Deficits in somatic sensations (body senses such as; touch, temperature, pain and proprioception) after stroke are common with high prevalence rates. Sensory deficits have been shown to predict poor functional outcome after stroke, including increased length of hospitalization, lower levels of discharge home, lower numbers of home discharges, and increased mortality rates. The objective of the study was to compare the …
