The ability of movement, and of recognizing objects (sometimes one's own limbs), holding, coordinating. even bodily functions like the bathroom oblutions , the toilet, often as not incontinence ...sound daunting? It is, but it's not necessarily long-lasting and certainly not necessarily permanent.
It all depends on the type of stroke, where it occurred, what was damaged and how much the damage. This is why the experts tell you to get to the hospital and the doctors - FAST.
There are more sensory problems including pain and we'll explore that next. Because the pain syndrome is both hurtful and complex and deserves a hard look. But, always remember that it's up to you with the guidance of the medical professionals
This is what I try to explain in my book, "Live Or Die - A Stroke of Good Luck. It's really rather simple. You address and correct each matter, each opportunity, iu order of importance to restore "normal" function and make it and you better.
Rehabilitation may take time, but it works. It's the way back.
