Motor Weakness

Tips from survivors: “Even small movements count—doing them every day helped my strength slowly return.”

Reduced strength or control in muscles due to impaired signals from the brain.

Difficulty lifting or moving parts of the body, reduced grip strength, slower movements, or trouble performing everyday tasks.

Stroke disrupts the brain pathways that control voluntary muscle movement.

Physical therapy, strengthening exercises, repetitive task training, and assistive devices when needed.

Very common after stroke and often affects one side of the body.
