Stroke: PT Assessment and Management
Stroke is an acute onset of neurological
dysfunction due to an abnormality in
cerebral circulation with resultant signs
& symptoms which corresponds to
involvement of focal areas of the brain
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
It is defined as the sudden onset of
neurological deficits due to an
abnormality in cerebral circulation with
the signs and symptoms lasting for more
than 24 hours or longer
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
It is defined as the sudden onset of
neurological deficits due to an
abnormality in cerebral circulation with
the signs and symptoms lasting for less
than 24 hours
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Third leading cause of death
The incidence of stroke is about 1.25
times greater for males than females
Most common cause of disability among
adults
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Atherosclerosis
Cerebral Thrombus
Cerebral embolus
Embolism from the heart (cardiac origin)
Intracranial hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Intracranial small vessel disease
Arterial aneurysms
Arterio-venous malformation
Haematological disorders
(haemoglobinopathies, leukemia)

zone infarction, trauma to and dissection of neck
arteries, paradoxical embolism, fat embolism, infective endocarditis)
 Migraine
 Chronic meningitis
 Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative and Crohn's
colitis)
 Hypoglycemia
 Snake bite, fat embolism
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
NON MODIFIABLE
MODIFIABLE
 Ageing & gender
 Positive family history
 Circadian and seasonal
factors (peaks between 10
am till noon)
 Heart disease
 Diabetes mellitus
 Hypertension
 Peripheral arterial disease
 Blood pathology (increased
haematocrit, clotting
abnormalities, sickle cell
anaemia etc)
 Hyperlipidemia
 TIA
 Smoking
 Obesity
 Lack of physical exercise
or sedentary life style
 Diet & excess alcohol
consumption
 Oral contraceptives
 Infection (meningeal
infection)
 Psychological factors
 Vasectomy
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
 Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or
leg, on one side of body
 Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or
understanding
 Sudden blurring of vision
 Sudden onset of dizziness, loss of balance or
coordination
 Sudden, severe headaches with no known cause
 Other important but less common stroke symptoms
include:
• Sudden nausea, fever, & vomiting distinguished from a viral
illness by speed of onset (minutes or hours vs several days)
• Brief loss of consciousness or a period of decreased
consciousness (fainting, confusion, convulsions, or coma)
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Ischemia results in irreversible cellular
damage with a core area of focal
infarction within minutes
• Transitional area surrounding core is termed
ischemic penumbra & consists of viable but
metabolically lethargic cells
Ischemia produce cerebral edema, that
begins within minutes of insult &
reaches a maximum by 3 to 4 days.
Swelling gradually subsides & generally
disappears by 2 to 3 weeks
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Oedema elevates ICP, leading to
intracranial HT & neurological
deterioration associated with
contralateral & caudal shifts of brain
structures
Cerebral edema is the most frequent
cause of death in acute stroke & is
characteristic of large infarcts involving
MCA & ICA
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Depending on the cause
• Haemorrhagic stroke
 Intracranial haemorrhage
 Subarachnoid haemorrhage
 Signs of raised ICP will be evident with a history of a
traumatic accident
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
• Ischemic stroke
 Thrombotic: more common. Usually occurs in the
sleeping hours. Characterised by gradual onset of
symptoms
 Embolic: Occurs in the waking hours of the day.
Sudden onset of symptoms preceded by giddiness in
most conditions
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Depending on the severity
• Mild stroke: symptoms subside with no deficit
in a week period
• Moderate stroke: symptoms recover in a period
of 3 - 6 months with minimal neurological
deficit
• Severe stroke: there is no complete recovery
of the symptoms even after 1 years. Always
ends up with severe neurological deficit
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Depending on the duration
• Acute stroke: to a period of one week or until
spasticity develops
• Sub acute stroke: after the development of
spasticity & last for a period of 3-12 months
• Chronic stroke: more than 12 months
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Depending on the symptoms
• MCA Syndrome
• ACA Syndrome
• PCA syndrome
• Vertebro basilar artery syndrome
 Vertebral artery
 Basilar artery
 Internal carotid artery
• Lacunar syndrome
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
• Stage 1: recovery occurs in a stereotyped
sequence of events that begins with a period of
flaccidity immediately following acute episode.
No movement of limbs can be elicited
• Stage 2: basic limb synergies or some of their
components may appear as associated reactions.
Minimal voluntary movement may be present.
Spasticity begins to develop
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
• Stage 3: Gains voluntary control of movement
synergy although full range is not developed.
Spasticity has further increased
• Stage 4: some movement combination that do not
follow the synergy are mastered first with
difficulty & later with more ease. Spasticity
begins to decline
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
• Stage 5: more difficult movement are learnt as
the basic limb synergy lose their dominance
over motor roots. Spasticity further declines
• Stage 6: disappearance of spasticity, individual
joint movement become possible & coordination
approaches normal. Normal motor function is
restored
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
 Contralateral hemiplegia (UL & face more
affected than LL)
 Contralateral hemisensory loss (UL & face
more affected than LL)
 Ideomotor apraxia

through XII are involved)
• Initially patient is dysarthria & dysphonic &
progresses to mutism (anarthria)
• There is preserved consciousness & sensation
• Horizontal eye movements are impaired but
vertical eye movements & blinking remain
intact.
• Communication can be established via these eye
movements.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
 Caused by small vessel disease of deep white
mater

Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
1. Altered sensation
• Pain (central pain or thalamic pain syndrome
characterized by constant, severe burning pain
with intermittent sharp pains
• Hyperalgesia
• Loud sound, bright light etc. may trigger pain
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
2. Vision
• Homonymous hemianopia, a visual field
defect, occurs with lesions involving the optic
radiation (MCA) or to primary visual cortex
(PCA)
• Visual neglect & problems with depth
perception, and spatial relationships
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
3. Weakness
• Usually seen in the contralateral side of the
lesion
• MCA stroke are more common so weakness is
largely seen in the UL in clinical practice
• Distal muscle are more affected than proximal
muscles
• Mild weakness of ipsilateral side
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
4. Alteration of tone
• Flaccidity (hypotonicity) is present immediately
after stroke
• Spasticity (hypertonicity) emerges in about 90
percent of cases
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
5. Abnormal synergy
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Muscles not involved in either synergy
• Latissimus dorsi
• Teres major
• Serratus anterior
• Finger extensors
• Ankle evertors
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
6. Abnormal reflexes
• Initially, hyporeflexia with flaccidity & later
hyperreflexia
• May demonstrate clonus, & +ve Babinski
• Movement of head or position of body may elicit a
change in tone or movement of extremities
 The most commonly seen is asymmetric tonic neck
reflex (ATNR)
• Associated reactions are also present in patients
who exhibit strong spasticity and synergies
 unintentional movements of hemiparetic limb caused by
voluntary action of another limb
 by stimulation of yawning, sneezing, or coughing.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
7. Altered co ordination
• Proprioceptive losses can result in sensory
ataxia
• Strokes affecting cerebellum typically produce
cerebellar ataxia (e.g.basilar artery
syndrome, pontine syndromes) & motor
weakness.
• Basal ganglia involvement (PCA syndrome) may
lead to bradykinesia or involuntary movements
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
8. Altered motor programing
• Motor praxis is ability to plan & execute
coordinated movement
• Lesions of premotor frontal cortex of either
hemisphere, left inferior parietal lobe, & corpus
callosum can produce apraxia.
• Apraxia is more evident with left hemisphere
damage than right and is commonly seen with
aphasia.
 Ideational apraxia
 Ideomotor apraxia
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
9. Postural Control & Balance
• Impairments in steadiness, symmetry, & dynamic
stability
• Problems may exist when reacting to a
destabilizing external force (reactive postural
control) or during self-initiated movements
(anticipatory postural control).
• Pusher syndrome: characterized by active pushing
with stronger extremities toward affected
side, leading to lateral postural imbalance
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
10. Speech, Language, and Swallowing
• Lesions involving cortex of dominant hemisphere
• Aphasia: impairment of language
comprehension, formulation, and use.
• Dysarthria: motor speech disorders caused by
lesions of CNS or PNS that mediate speech
production.

brainstem (CN IX and X), large vessel pontine
lesions, as well as in acute MCA and PCA lesion
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
11. Perception and Cognition
• They are the result of lesions in right parietal
cortex & seen more with left hemiplegia than
right.
• These may include disorders of body
scheme/body image, spatial relations, and
agnosias.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
12. Emotional Status
• Lesions of brain affecting frontal
lobe, hypothalamus, & limbic system
• May demonstrate pseudobulbar affect
(PBA), also known as emotional lability or
emotional dysregulation syndrome.
 emotional outbursts of uncontrolled or exaggerated
laughing or crying that are inconsistent with mood.
• Depression is extremely common
 persistent feelings of sadness,feelings of
hopelessness, worthlessness or helplessness.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
13. Bladder and Bowel Function
• Disturbances of bladder function are common
during acute phase
• Urinary incontinence can result from bladder
hyperreflexia or hyporeflexia, disturbances of
sphincter control, or sensory loss.
• Disturbances of bowel function can include
incontinence & diarrhea or constipation
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Hemispheric Behavioral Differences.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
1. Musculoskeletal changes
• Loss of voluntary movement and immobility can
result in loss of ROM & contractures.
 Contractures are apparent in spastic muscles of
paretic limbs
• Disuse atrophy & muscle weakness results from
inactivity and immobility
• Osteoporosis, results from decreased physical
activity, changes in protein nutrition, hormonal
deficiency, & calcium deficiency.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
2. Neurological signs
• Seizures occur in a small % of patients - more
common in occlusive carotid disease than in
MCA disease
• Hydrocephalus is rare but can occur with
subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
3. Thrombophlebitis & deep venous
thrombosis (DVT)
• complications for all immobilized patients.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
4. Cardiac Function
• Stroke as a result of underlying coronary
artery disease (CAD) may demonstrate
impaired CO, cardiac decompensation, & rhythm
disorders.
• If these problems persist, they can alter
cerebral perfusion & produce additional focal
signs (e.g., mental confusion).
• Cardiac limitations in exercise tolerance
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
5. Pulmonary Function
• Decreased lung volume, decreased pulmonary
perfusion & vital capacity & altered chest wall
excursion
• Aspiration, occurs in about one third of
patients with dysphagia.

Lumbar puncture
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
CT Scan
• In acute phase, CT scans are used to rule out
brain lesions such as tumor or abscess & to
identify hemorrhagic stroke
• In sub-acute phase, CT scans can identify
development of cerebral edema (within 3 days)
& cerebral infarction (within 3 to 5 days) by
showing areas of decreased density.
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
• MRI is more sensitive in diagnosis of acute
strokes, allowing detection of cerebral
infarction within 2 to 6 hours after stroke.
• It is also able to detail extent of infarction or
hemorrhage & can detect smaller lesions
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Cerebral Angiography.
• Involves injection of radiopaque dye into blood
vessels with subsequent radiography.
• It provides visualization of vascular system and
used when surgery is considered (carotid
stenosis, AVM).
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Fastest in first weeks after onset
Measurable neurological & functional
recovery occurring in first month after
stroke.
Continue to make measurable functional
gains for months or years after insult
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Late recovery of function is also seen in
patients with chronic stroke who
undergo extensive functional training
• These changes are due to function-induced
plasticity
Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
Recovery also depends on severity of
stroke
Depends on type of stroke –
hemorrhagic or ischemic
Varies from individual to individual
Depends on intensity of therapy

Stroke: PT Assessment and Management

  • 2. Stroke is an acute onset of neurological dysfunction due to an abnormality in cerebral circulation with resultant signs & symptoms which corresponds to involvement of focal areas of the brain Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 3. It is defined as the sudden onset of neurological deficits due to an abnormality in cerebral circulation with the signs and symptoms lasting for more than 24 hours or longer Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 4. It is defined as the sudden onset of neurological deficits due to an abnormality in cerebral circulation with the signs and symptoms lasting for less than 24 hours Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 5. Third leading cause of death The incidence of stroke is about 1.25 times greater for males than females Most common cause of disability among adults Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 6. Atherosclerosis Cerebral Thrombus Cerebral embolus Embolism from the heart (cardiac origin) Intracranial hemorrhage Subarachnoid hemorrhage Intracranial small vessel disease Arterial aneurysms Arterio-venous malformation Haematological disorders (haemoglobinopathies, leukemia) Atherothromboembolism Dr. L.

Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 8. NON MODIFIABLE MODIFIABLE  Ageing & gender  Positive family history  Circadian and seasonal factors (peaks between 10 am till noon)  Heart disease  Diabetes mellitus  Hypertension  Peripheral arterial disease  Blood pathology (increased haematocrit, clotting abnormalities, sickle cell anaemia etc)  Hyperlipidemia  TIA  Smoking  Obesity  Lack of physical exercise or sedentary life style  Diet & excess alcohol consumption  Oral contraceptives  Infection (meningeal infection)  Psychological factors  Vasectomy Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 9.  Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, on one side of body  Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding  Sudden blurring of vision  Sudden onset of dizziness, loss of balance or coordination  Sudden, severe headaches with no known cause  Other important but less common stroke symptoms include: • Sudden nausea, fever, & vomiting distinguished from a viral illness by speed of onset (minutes or hours vs several days) • Brief loss of consciousness or a period of decreased consciousness (fainting, confusion, convulsions, or coma) Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 10. Ischemia results in irreversible cellular damage with a core area of focal infarction within minutes • Transitional area surrounding core is termed ischemic penumbra & consists of viable but metabolically lethargic cells Ischemia produce cerebral edema, that begins within minutes of insult & reaches a maximum by 3 to 4 days. Swelling gradually subsides & generally disappears by 2 to 3 weeks Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 11. Oedema elevates ICP, leading to intracranial HT & neurological deterioration associated with contralateral & caudal shifts of brain structures Cerebral edema is the most frequent cause of death in acute stroke & is characteristic of large infarcts involving MCA & ICA Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 12. Depending on the cause • Haemorrhagic stroke  Intracranial haemorrhage  Subarachnoid haemorrhage  Signs of raised ICP will be evident with a history of a traumatic accident Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 13. • Ischemic stroke  Thrombotic: more common. Usually occurs in the sleeping hours. Characterised by gradual onset of symptoms  Embolic: Occurs in the waking hours of the day. Sudden onset of symptoms preceded by giddiness in most conditions Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 14. Depending on the severity • Mild stroke: symptoms subside with no deficit in a week period • Moderate stroke: symptoms recover in a period of 3 - 6 months with minimal neurological deficit • Severe stroke: there is no complete recovery of the symptoms even after 1 years. Always ends up with severe neurological deficit Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 15. Depending on the duration • Acute stroke: to a period of one week or until spasticity develops • Sub acute stroke: after the development of spasticity & last for a period of 3-12 months • Chronic stroke: more than 12 months Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 16. Depending on the symptoms • MCA Syndrome • ACA Syndrome • PCA syndrome • Vertebro basilar artery syndrome  Vertebral artery  Basilar artery  Internal carotid artery • Lacunar syndrome Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 17. • Stage 1: recovery occurs in a stereotyped sequence of events that begins with a period of flaccidity immediately following acute episode. No movement of limbs can be elicited • Stage 2: basic limb synergies or some of their components may appear as associated reactions. Minimal voluntary movement may be present. Spasticity begins to develop Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 18. • Stage 3: Gains voluntary control of movement synergy although full range is not developed. Spasticity has further increased • Stage 4: some movement combination that do not follow the synergy are mastered first with difficulty & later with more ease. Spasticity begins to decline Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 19. • Stage 5: more difficult movement are learnt as the basic limb synergy lose their dominance over motor roots. Spasticity further declines • Stage 6: disappearance of spasticity, individual joint movement become possible & coordination approaches normal. Normal motor function is restored Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 20.  Contralateral hemiplegia (UL & face more affected than LL)  Contralateral hemisensory loss (UL & face more affected than LL)  Ideomotor apraxia  Ataxia of contralateral limb  Contralateral Homonymous hemianopia  Left hemisphere infarction • Contralateral neglect • Possible contralateral visual field deficit • Aphasia: Broca’s (expressive) or Wernicke’s (receptive) Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 21.  Coordination disorders such as tremor or ataxia  Contralateral homonymous field deficit  Cortical blindness  Cognitive impairment including memory impairment  Contralateral sensory impairment  Thalamic syndrome (abnormal sensation of severe pain from light touch or temperature changes)  Weber’s syndrome (contralateral hemiplegia & third nerve palsy) Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 22. Contralateral Hemiplegia or monoplegia of LL (LL more affected than UL) Contralateral sensory loss of LL Urinary incontinence Problems with imitation & bimanual task Abulia (akinetic mutism) Apraxia Amnesia Contralateral grasp reflex, sucking reflex Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 23.  Medial medullary syndrome (vertebral artery)  Lateral medullary (Wallenberg's) syndrome (PICA)  Complete basilar artery syndrome (locked- in syndrome)  Medial inferior pontine syndrome  Lateral inferior pontine syndrome (AICA)  Medial midpontine syndrome  Lateral midpontine syndrome  Medial superior pontine syndrome  Lateral superior pontine syndrome Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 24. Locked-in syndrome (LIS) • Acute hemiparesis rapidly progressing to tetraplegia & lower bulbar paralysis (CN V through XII are involved) • Initially patient is dysarthria & dysphonic & progresses to mutism (anarthria) • There is preserved consciousness & sensation • Horizontal eye movements are impaired but vertical eye movements & blinking remain intact. • Communication can be established via these eye movements. Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 25.  Caused by small vessel disease of deep white mater • Pure motor lacunar stroke: posterior limb of internal capsule, pons, & pyramids • Pure sensory lacunar stroke: ventrolateral thalamus or thalamocortical projections  Ataxic hemiparesis  Dysarthria  Clumsy hand syndrome  Sensory/motor stroke  Dystonia/involuntary movements Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 26. Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 27. Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 28. Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 29. 1. Altered sensation • Pain (central pain or thalamic pain syndrome characterized by constant, severe burning pain with intermittent sharp pains • Hyperalgesia • Loud sound, bright light etc. may trigger pain Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
  • 30. 2. Vision • Homonymous hemianopia, a visual field defect, occurs with lesions involving the optic radiation (MCA) or to primary visual cortex (PCA) • Visual neglect & problems with depth perception, and spatial relationships Dr. L. Surbala (MPT Neuro)
