Left Stroke with Right Hemiplegia (BEHAVIORS) - Answer: -Slow, anxious, cautious,
normal attention span
-underestimated abilities
-emotionally labile ( abrupt mood changes)
-quick to anger and/or become frustrated
Right Stroke with Left Hemiplegia - Answer: Perceptual problems/ Distortion of
physical reality
-visual spatial disorders :depth perception
-constructional relationships
-directional concepts
Page 1 of 72
,-neglect, drawing abilities
-body schema perception disorders;
-perceptual language disorders
language
Right Stroke with Left Hemiplegia (BEHAVIORS) - Answer: -fast and impulsive
-short attention span
-overestimate abilities/ judgement
-denial of illness (anosognosia)
-lack of inhibition
-inability to express emotions /affect is flat
Cerebrum - Answer: -frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes
-consisting of two hemispheres, left and right, separated by a fissure
-responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functions and the
initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body.
initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of
the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving,
emotions and learning.
Frontal Lobe - Answer: -controls voluntary movement
-thinking problem solving
-reasoning judgement
-personality

,Primary Motor Cortex
(motor homunculus) - Answer: -located on the pre-central gyrus
-controls voluntary movement
-lesion to this area results in motor deficits and/or paralysis to the contralateral
side of the body
Types of stroke
(Lesson 2) - Answer: Ischemic: 87%
-Thrombotic
-Embolic
-Lacunar
Hemorrhagic: 13%
-Intracerebral
-Subarachnoid
Thrombotic Stroke (Ischemic) - Answer: 48% of all strokes
-typically occurs during sleep
-slow progressive onset of deficits
-50% are associated with prior TIA
Embolic Stroke (Ischemic) - Answer: 26% of all strokes
-typically occurs while awake
-sudden, immediate deficits (sometimes seizures)
-11% are associated with prior TIA
Page 3 of 72
, Lucunar Stroke (Ischemic)
small vessel disease - Answer: 13% of all strokes
-small infarct (>15-20 cm) deep in the brain
-onset can be gradual or sudden
-23% associated with proceeding TIA
-often pure sensory or motor symptoms
-typically no higher cortical functional involved
Intracerebral Hemmorhage (ICH) - Answer: 10% of all strokes
-90% happen with the patient is under "no stress"
-major cause of "hypertension"
-onset may be gradual or sudden
-8% are associated with prior TIA
-direct correlation with high blood pressure/ hypertension
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) - Answer: 3% of all stroke
-occurs often during strenuous activity
-cause: rupture aneurysms and vascular malformations
-sudden onset
-7% are associated with preceding TIA
Left Stroke with Right Hemiplegia - Answer: -Language/Perceptual problems
-expressive aphasia
-receptive aphasia
-global aphasia
