Abstract:
Patients discover that exhaustion following a stroke is both frequent and upsetting. Which method to employ to alleviate this fatigue needs to be decided. Various techniques might be beneficial. Between 25 and 75 percent of stroke survivors report feeling worn out. Patient’s quality of life and neurological rehabilitation are negatively impacted by post-stroke fatigue (PSF), which is frequently incapacitating. PSF is defined in various ways, but they all include subjective feelings of weakness and exhaustion that make it difficult to go about daily activities. Both biological and psycho-cognitive factors influence PSF. The assessment of PSF, contributing variables, therapy modalities, and nursing implications will all be covered in this paper.
