Stroke

Did you know?

Eating healthily, taking more exercise, not smoking and ensuring blood pressure is normal, can all help to prevent stroke. (The Stroke Association)

How does a Stroke affect the body?

The most common type of stroke is a blockage of a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. A stroke can also occur as a result of a burst blood vessel.

A stroke can cause weakness or paralysis in one side of the body and problems with balance or co-ordination. Memory can also be affected.

How can Adaptawear help?

People affected by stroke may still remain independent whilst others require assistance to dress themselves.

Adaptawear clothes caters for both needs. Our assistive blouses such as the Back-Zipped Blouses or our Back-Wrapped dresses have clever openings that allow a carer to dress an individual with ease.

On the other hand, our Side fastening Trousers allow an individual to draw the trousers more easily up the legs as a result of zips on either side of the hips. By just opening one side, an individual is able to manipulate the garment over the side of the body with limited movement.
