I am Aoi Hashima, an occupational therapist working in Saga Sumai, Fukuoka.
Stroke-related information has recently become more accessible via the Internet.
NHK's "NHK Today's Health" and "Choice@When You're Sick" have been on the air for a long time, featuring stroke topics and providing topics on high brain dysfunction.
NHK's past broadcasts are on-demand broadcasts, but the NHK homepage also summarizes content using broadcast screen illustrations.
It's easy to understand, so I sometimes introduce it to the patients I'm in charge of.
The link is pasted below, so I thought it would be nice if you could read it as a document.

It is usually caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury and is characterized by an inconspicuous appearance that makes it difficult to draw attention.

In the case of cerebral hemorrhage, there are few warning signs, but 20-30% of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage will have a headache beforehand, and in the case of cerebral infarction, the same symptoms as cerebral infarction may temporarily appear before the onset .
