Physical Effects of Stroke
Conditions

Spasticity
Brain injury from stroke sometimes causes muscles to involuntarily contract (shorten or flex) when you try to move your limb. This creates stiffness and tightness.
Balance
About 40 percent of survivors have serious falls within a year of their stroke.

Toe Curl
Claw toe, and a similar condition called “hammertoe,” are caused by an imbalance of muscles in the feet and toes. Brain injury during a stroke leaves survivors prone to neuromuscular imbalances.
When the Pain Never Goes Away
It’s impossible for someone who doesn't have central pain syndrome (also known as thalamic pain) to know what it's like. There's just no context to use to imagine central pain.
