Sensory or sensation changes after stroke may not always take first priority over movement issues, but they can be just as frustrating. They can also potentially be a safety issue. If you have trouble with numbness, tingling, detecting pressure or touch, changes in temperature, proprioception, or stereognosis, this video is for you.
