Stroke
Stroke is a disease that damages the arteries connected to the brain. This condition occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood and nutrients that deliver or enter the brain is blocked. A blocked clot may cause this blockage or a rupture of the arteries. When this happens, it blocks the pathway of the oxygenated blood, and nutrients cannot go to the brain.
Some call stroke a cerebrovascular accident. As the rupture or clot obstructs the blood pathways, it creates a loss of blood flow in the brain, which targets the brain tissues. When this happens, the brain loses its function, such as motor skills, walking, talking, and standing.
The brain controls the different muscles, tendons, and ligaments in basic procedures. When the brain is damaged, it can cause malfunction and loss of control of this basic procedure. For example, abruption of the thigh is a common side effect of stroke. It can cause pain, numbness, a tingling sensation, and muscle weakness. Another effect of stroke is the nerve damage it causes. This leads to the contraction of muscles found in the thighs. This muscle contraction can lead to spasm, which is painful to the body.
