With your excellent chance of getting dementia your doctor is required to get you recovered enough to do higher physical activity levels. YOUR DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY. Don't let them weasel out of that responsibility, you need exact protocols, NOT GUIDELINES.
Your chances of getting dementia.
1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.
3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.
4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018
5. Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017

This narrative review aimed to summarize evidence
regarding the responses to exercise among patients with preclinical
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the effectiveness of long-term exercise
interventions in improving cognitive function and neuropsychiatric
symptoms. We performed a narrative review of existing literature on the
effectiveness of long-term exercise interventions in improving cognitive
function and neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with AD. Patients
with AD who presented with long-term exercise interventions appeared to
have improved blood flow, increased hippocampal volume, and improved
neurogenesis. Most prospective studies have proven that physical
inactivity is one of the most common preventable risk factors for
developing AD and that higher physical activity levels are associated
with a reduced risk of AD development. Physical exercise seems to be
effective in improving several neuropsychiatric symptoms of AD, notably
cognitive function. Compared with medications, exercise has been shown
to have fewer side effects and better adherence.
Background
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive
neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and multiple
cognitive disorders (Reddy and Oliver, 2019).
This symptom is the most frequent cause of neurogenesis. Individuals
with AD develop progressive mild cognitive impairment (MCI), leading to
the development of neuropsychiatric manifestations. Agitation and
anxiousness are common complications in individuals diagnosed with AD.
Other complications such as bladder and bowel problems, depression,
infection, and head trauma or broken bones are the main cause of
imbalance and incoordination in these patients (Higuera, 2016).
Alzheimer’s disease is associated with common causes of dementia and is estimated to account for 60–80% of these cases (Alzheimer’s Association [AA], 2016).
Aging can be treated as the greatest risk factor for AD progression.
About 81% of AD patients are aged over 75 years as estimated by the Alzheimer’s Association [AA], 2016).
The diagnosis and treatment of AD involves many challenges. Studies
have shown that drug combinations are effective and that there is no
efficient treatment for patients diagnosed with preclinical AD or MCI.
With respect to the definition of MCI, it is regarded as a syndrome of
cognitive decline that is higher than the expectation of the age of
individual and level of education without significantly obstructing with
daily living activities. Notably, it develops into AD during 5 years in
over half of the MCI patients (Gauthier et al., 2006). Based on the possibility of side effects of drugs, people are very interested in the non-pharmacological treatment of AD (Raggi et al., 2017).
Inconsistent benefits of treatments, comprising cognitive
training and cognitive stimulation, have been reported. There is an
intension to prevent and treat AD, MCI, and dementia via regular
exercise (Laurin et al., 2001; Lindsay et al., 2002; Andel et al., 2008). This article aims to review important studies with this scope and consider the association of exercise and AD in patients.
This is right. A permanent cure to bring back the strength to her paralyzed side is yet to happen. Though she is able to do her daily routines of her own she is confided inside home and seldom goes out.
