Case Study 5 – Stroke Ms. Campbell is 84 years old and had a stroke (ischemic) last year. She has thankfully recovered well after some weakness in her left leg and some trouble with her left hand. She has seen both Physical and Occupational Therapists and they have released her for more general conditioning and she wishes to join your facility. Her physician approved the exercise recommendation from the PT/OT department. She continues to take a daily aspirin, and is on a blood pressure medication called Lisonopril daily. She completed a graded exercise test but is still concerned about her weakness, slow gait, and wishes to get back to doing her usual activities of daily living around the house on her own vs. her adult children coming to help so often.

What precautions and considerations will you need to be aware of with her since she had a stroke? Read through the considerations for this type of event.
