A stroke, also known as a TIA (transient ischemic attack), occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is suddenly interrupted. As a result, brain cells do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, causing them to become damaged or die within a short period of time. Prompt medical treatment is essential to minimise the risk of permanent brain damage.
The symptoms that remain after a stroke vary depending on which part of the brain has been affected.

Rehabilitation may include:
During rehabilitation, the focus is on improving strength, coordination, balance, and the ability to perform everyday activities.
After a stroke, muscle control may be temporarily or permanently reduced. A brace or other orthopaedic aid can, as part of a treatment or rehabilitation plan, provide support when performing daily activities. Depending on the symptoms, a brace may help to:
Which brace or aid is most suitable depends on the nature of the symptoms and should preferably be chosen in consultation with a doctor, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist.
Important: A stroke always requires assessment and treatment by a doctor or medical specialist. Products such as braces, splints, and compression garments are not a treatment for a stroke itself, but they may provide support during rehabilitation or help manage long-term physical limitations when recommended by a doctor, physiotherapist, or occupational therapist.
Depending on the symptoms, the following products may be suitable:

What is the difference between an ischemic stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke? +
An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked by a blood clot. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding into the brain tissue.
Can I fully recover from a stroke? +
Recovery varies from person to person. Some people recover almost completely, while others experience long-term physical limitations. Prompt medical treatment and intensive rehabilitation can significantly improve the chances of recovery.
What symptoms can remain after a stroke? +
Possible long-term effects include muscle weakness, paralysis, balance problems, spasticity, fatigue, speech difficulties, memory problems, and reduced function of the hand or foot.
Can a brace help after a stroke? +
Yes. For certain long-term symptoms, a brace can provide additional support to areas such as the hand, wrist, shoulder, or ankle. The most suitable brace depends on your individual condition and symptoms.
When should I seek immediate medical attention? +
If you experience sudden symptoms such as a drooping face, weakness or paralysis of an arm or leg, difficulty speaking, or sudden loss of vision, call your local emergency services immediately. Acting quickly is essential to minimise the risk of permanent brain damage.
