What is Stroke Week?
Stroke attacks the brain, which controls the human body. The brain needs oxygen and nutrients carried in blood.
A stroke happens when the brain does not get the blood it needs. Brain cells die quickly when they do not get enough blood.
There is a range of assistive technology available to enable a stroke survivor to live a fulfilling life.
Our team of local equipment specialists will take you through a series of equipment stations to better understand this equipment range.
