Biomedical Research and Iris’s Stroke Recovery
摘要
The front door of the apartment was usually unlocked, and the shower was running with steaming hot water. Iris was aphasic and could not move the dominant right side of her body. Her skin became scalded as she could not move her legs away from the hot water. Iris had a stroke. Iris sustained a right-sided foot drop and a paralyzed right arm that just hung to her side. Dr. Shapiro had the latest devices to address Iris’s neurological deficit. A Neural Sleeve and a vagal nerve stimulator made her whole again.
