Unlocking a Brighter Future for Locked-In Syndrome
It’s devastating when someone experiences a stroke! To worsen matters, there’s the possibility of acquiring Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) which can rob them of their dignity. Science Daily (2013) reported that,
“LIS results from a lesion to the brainstem, which can occur when a stroke impacts this specific small area at the junction between the spinal cord and the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The lesion blocks the brain’s motor pathways, resulting in almost complete paralysis.”
Please share this article with loved ones who have risk factors for stroke.
