The theory is that you can create new pathways in the brain to compensate for injured areas The key is to use your affected side as much as possible and to • Use rubber bands to exercise your fingers. For example, place your affected hand on a table and loop a rubber band around one of your fingers. With your unaffected hand, pull the rubber band up and down to exercise the affected finger.
• Squeeze a rubber ball to strengthen your affected hand.
Repeat activities several times each day.
In my experience I found, try to imitate your other hand who is the best tutor. Try to tie your shoe laces, hold the cup, hold the spoon ,eat with effected hand.
Believe me it is not easy but not impossible, have patience you your self will feel the improvement which is the prize for you. Slowly by the repeated movements not only you develop the motor skill you start feeling sensations cold and hot.

Recovery of fine motor skills after Stroke

Effect on memory in stroke patient is in same cases is short living may be 2-3 month depending on the severity of the injury.


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.

Stroke in children

Although stroke is popularly believed to affect only elderly adults, stroke is among the top ten causes of death among infants and children.However the causes of stroke in children are very different from those in adults. Heart disease, sickle cell disease, cancer, meningitis, chicken pox, genetic factors, and congenital abnormalities account for most of the cases. Almost three quarters (71 percent) of cases were of the type known as hemorrhagic stroke. However, boys were more likely than girls to have a fatal stroke at all time points and at all ages. Also, boys were almost 50 percent more likely to die of stroke during infancy than girls.
Female hormone estrogen may partly explain these differences. Estrogen protects against heart disease and stroke. It surges in early infancy and then again at puberty in girls. They suggest that on the other hand, there may be genetic factors which make boys more susceptible to brain injury and damage.
