According to the State of Hawai’i Department of Health, Neurotrauma Program, stroke is the #1 cause of chronic disability and #3 cause of death in Hawai’i. Hawai’i’s rate of stroke mortality is 70.3 per 100,000 people, which is higher than the national average of 58.1 per 100,000. The effects of stroke vary from person to person based on the type, severity, location, and number of strokes. When an area of the brain is damaged from a stroke, the loss of normal function of part of the body may occur. This may result in a disability. Effects of Stroke can impair any or all functions related to speech and language, movement, sensation, eating, swallowing, inability to walk, dizziness, headache, coma, and paralysis.
