A 53 year old man recently had a stroke with left hand clumsiness, slurred speech, and numbness. Since
then he has recovered completely and has no residual symptoms. He has resumed all his usual pre-
stroke activities. - Answer 0
Before his stroke, John walked several miles each day and was very active. Since the stroke, his activity
level has decreased significantly. His right leg was amputated due to a blood clot and infection, a
complication from the stroke. He is confined to a wheelchair now. His right hand is paralyzed so moving
around in the wheelchair is difficult. He uses his left foot to guide the chair throughout the house, with
some assistance from his wife when needed. He is able to sit up in bed on his own, and get out of bed
with the use of a bar next to the bed. He needs his wife's help to use the toilet. He cannot stay at home
by himself longer than 3-4 hours. - Answer 4
Before her stroke Linda was a taxi driver and did everything well for herself. After the stroke she was left
with limited left hand function and unable to walk from room to room without assistance. She needs
assistance with bathing and doesn't think she can be left alone for more than 24 hours. She remains in a
rehabilitation center, and visits her home on the weekends. She needs a commode at home and
assistance getting to the commode. She can sit up in bed by herself, though. - Answer 4
A 42 year old man had a stroke with decreased consciousness, severe right hemiparesis, and gaze

up on his own. - Answer 5
Rachel, 67, had a stroke 3 months ago. For 3 weeks following her stroke, she was nearly bedridden and
unable to walk without the help. She also had severe word finding problems for a few weeks. Following
intensive rehabilitation, Rachel is now walking with only a cane and carrying out nearly all activities she
did prior to the stroke. She still has minor word finding problems, however, so she is uncomfortable with
talking on the phone with family and friends, an activity she used to enjoy nearly daily. - Answer 2
