The NOGGINS AND NEURONS Podcast
Health & Fitness
OVERVIEW:
Tracy: My understanding is that not a lot of people understand post-stroke fatigue. Are we mislabeling it? Are we saying it’s more of a cognitive problem? Are we saying it’s more of a muscle strength problem? I’m just wondering if we’re mislabeling it…especially when we’re talking about it down the road. I’m really hung up on these individuals who are functioning well…so these are the individuals who no longer qualify for home care services, and have really graduated beyond outpatient, but they’re still not able to get back to their role as an employee…back to those desired occupations they want to get to…because of the post-stroke fatigue.
EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified: Post-Stroke Fatigue, with occupational therapist and educator Tracy Bentley-Root, and occupational therapy students Alyssa Brockmann and Sarah Battaglia, we talked about:
Stroke manifests in various ways that are individualized to each patient and caregiver. It is important to note that stroke recovery is an adjustable and continually changing journey where each day will present differently. A decrease in performance does not mean patient regression, rather an occupational performance area strengthened, leaving another area open for improvement. Being aware of one’s symptoms, including fatigue, as well as understanding why fatigue manifests post-stroke is important to then advocate on behalf of yourself to health care practitioners for adequate resources and sports needed to move forward in one’s re-establishment of routine, identity and occupational performance.
