Cerebral infarction and rehabilitation

Cerebral infarction and rehabilitation

For the second year, the Neuro-Science Society, which brings together 2,300 scientists and clinicians across France, organised 'Brain Week'. Among the meetings and events, the scientists mentioned the stroke which represents 100,000 new cases per year that sometimes lead to hemiplegia, aphasia. This accident must be carried out urgently to avoid a lack of irrigation of the brain. In addition, rehabilitation is essential. Report to the emergency department of the Lariboisière hospital in Paris and in the rehabilitation department of the Fernand Widal hospital. Testimonies of two patients, Valérie, then Farida, recently vicitimes of stroke, and interviews with Professor Marie-Germaine BOUSSER who explains the difference between a healthy artery and an abnormal artery, and Dr Alain YELNIK, Head of the Rehabilitation and Functional Rehabilitation Department at the Fernand Widal Hospital.
