Summary

The most common symptoms of stroke were focal weakness, hemiparesis, speech disturbance, diplopia and ataxia. Beside those symptoms, there are still many symptoms occurring after stroke, which may affect the life quality of participants. Compared to motor symptoms, the study of these non-motor symptoms was too small.

At present, the most reported non-motor symptoms after stroke are sleep disorder, depression and post-stroke pain. There are still many symptoms that were not investigated.

The study investigates the prevalence of non-motor syndromes in acute ischemic stroke patients and the impact of these syndromes on the outcome of ischemic stroke patients. The non-motor syndromes that were researched include dizziness, pain, skin lesions, sensory impairment, fever, infection, delirium, depression, insomnia, confusion, delirium and headache.

Delirium may occur after stroke. Delirium may impair the mentality, thinking, attention and consciousness level of participants. There are many causes reported attributed to confusion including infection, old age, stroke, hemorrhage… Early diagnosis and early treatment for confusion may improve outcome and decrease mortality in stroke populations. One of the aims of the study is to investigate the prevalence, causes and outcome of treatment in stroke populations who hospitalized to the hospital. Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness or lack of energy. Fatigue is not the same as the feeling drowsy or sleepy. When a person is fatigued, they lose motivation and energy. Fatigue may be mild to severe. It may be related to a physical or mental health condition. The study investigates the prevalence and impact of fatigue on stroke populations' outcomes. In depression, a person experiences a loss of pleasure or interest in activities and feels sad, irritable, and empty. Post-stroke depression is common. When a stroke person has a depressed mood, they may have no motivation for activity. This may interfere with physical therapy and affect the outcome of a stroke. The study investigates post-stroke depression prevalence and impact. The study investigates the prevalence and impact of sleep apnea on stroke outcome.
