According to the American Stroke Association, stroke is the primary cause of long-term disability affecting over 795,000 people annually. It is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. A stroke can alter a person’s life both physically and emotionally making everyday activities a challenge. Simple tasks like making a meal, getting dressed, bathing, or doing laundry can become difficult.
