Abstract:
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and as healthcare intervention improves, the number of stroke survivors has also increased. Furthermore, there exists a subgroup of younger adults, who suffer stroke and survive. Given the overall improved survival rate, bettering our understanding of long-term stroke outcomes is critical. In this review we will explore the causes and challenges of known long-term consequences of stroke and if present, their corresponding sex differences in both old and young survivors. We have separated these long-term post-stroke consequences into three categories: mobility and muscle weakness, memory and cognitive deficits, and mental health and mood. Lastly, we discuss the potential of common preclinical stroke models to contribute to our understanding of long-term outcomes following stroke.
