Patient Case: Patient with age 55 has a history of haemorrhagic stroke and left side was affected. Even though he recovered, he again had a stroke, and now his bilateral limbs are affected.

• Observation: Spastic, ROM decreased, slurred speech and right side more affected than left side.
• He is progressing very slowly. Now his sitting balance has improved and standing is being initiated. Baclofen is being given.

What else can be done for his speedy recovery?

Symptoms began to resolve within 1 hr. PMH also significant for afib - pt does not take meds for this. Very important to go to ED when symptoms of stroke present and manage afib with anticoagulants to prevent this!
