So John had a cerebral vascular accident specific to his
- 00:06 - 00:08
bright middle cerebral arteries.
- 00:09 - 00:11
And this is actually the clinical term for the type
- 00:12 - 00:13
of stroke that John had.
- 00:14 - 00:17
And the middle cerebral arteries are the most common sight
- 00:17 - 00:17
for stroke.
- 00:19 - 00:23
The middle cerebral arteries are what supply certain areas of
- 00:23 - 00:27
the brain with blood, So that would be the lateral
- 00:27 - 00:32
aspect of the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes.
- 00:33 - 00:36
When blood flow is disrupted to these areas, there is
- 00:36 - 00:41
a host of issues that can occur for John the
- 00:41 - 00:47
biggest one waas contra lateral heavy ecclesia, meaning left side
- 00:47 - 00:52
paralysis. So John Stroke occurred on the right hemisphere of
- 00:52 - 00:54
his brain, which is responsible for left side motor function.
- 00:55 - 00:57
So this is why the family was noticing that John
- 00:58 - 01:01
was unable to move or feel the left side of
- 01:01 - 01:05
his body along with that was also a practice CIA,
- 01:06 - 01:09
meaning he was unable to perform, learned motor movements on
- 01:10 - 01:13
command. So had you asked John to raise his left
- 01:13 - 01:20
arm, he was unable thio other structural damages that happened
- 01:21 - 01:22
as a result of the stroke.
- 01:23 - 01:30
Waas visual spatial and tactile perception impairments um, memory and
- 01:30 - 01:37
attention deficit Um, due to the fact that John had
- 01:37 - 01:38
left side paralysis.
- 01:39 - 01:44
This also caused issues with his speech, even though the
- 01:44 - 01:47
Broca's area of his left side hemisphere was not affected.
- 01:48 - 01:52
Which is the speech part of your brain, his speech
- 01:52 - 01:58
waas impaired because of the facial drooping on dhe, the
- 01:58 - 02:01
loss of muscle tone to the left side of his
- 02:02 - 02:03
mouth and lips.
- 02:04 - 02:09
So John was presenting with slurred speech and mispronouncing words.
- 02:10 - 02:12
Um, this was all due to the paralysis in his
- 02:12 - 02:19
face. So structurally speaking, John did have ah lot of
- 02:20 - 02:23
physical changes due to his stroke.
