I don't need a bad lecture about what a stoke is. I have seen hundreds of people that have had strokes and worked with them to regain function.
And unless a person actively uses their mind they will not fully recover.
The brain heals whether a person actively uses their mind or not. But the return a person gets depends on how they use their mind.
Your claimed experience is not apparent in what you say about strokes, brain damage or the nature of mind.
Absolute and total bullshit.
No, it's the truth. It is the brain damage brought about by clots, lesions, etc, that causes impairment, cognition, motor action, in the first place.
You just don't like it.
You can't rehab a stroke patient by cuddling their brain.
You have to get the patient to actively use their mind to regain control.
Because the mind is what controls voluntary movement.
That is where the phrase comes from: VOLUNTARY movement, as opposed to reflexive movement, which is movement not directed by the mind.
I assure you I am not the first to use the phrase "voluntary movement".
That is a perfect example of what I meant about your apparent lack of knowledge about brain damage and its consequences;
Effects of stroke
''The effects of stroke – how a stroke can affect you.
There are several factors that impact on recovery and the effects of stroke. These factors include:
Type of stroke
Location of the blocked or burst artery
Which area of the brain is damaged
How much brain tissue is permanently damaged
Your general health before the stroke Your level of activity before the stroke
The brain is divided into several areas that control different functions. These include how you move your body, receive sensory messages (such as touch, sight or smell), use language and think. Because different arteries supply different areas of the brain, where the brain is damaged will determine which functions are affected.
Every stroke is different. Each person affected by stroke will have different problems and different needs. The way in which you might be affected depends on where in the brain the stroke happens and how big the stroke is. A stroke on the right side of the brain generally causes problems on the left side of the body. A stroke on the left side of the brain causes problems on the right side of the body. Some strokes happen at the base of the brain and can cause problems with eating, breathing and moving.''
More generally;
Prefrontal Cortex damage:
''The 20-year-old female subject studied by Damasio et al. was intelligent and academically competent, but she stole from her family and other children, abused other people both verbally and physically, lied frequently, and was sexually promiscuous and completely lacking in empathy toward her illegitimate child. In addition, the researchers say, "She never expressed guilt or remorse for her misbehavior'' ''Both of the subjects performed well on measures of intellectual ability, but, like people with adult-onset prefrontal cortex damage, they were socially impaired, failed to consider future consequences when making decisions, and failed to respond normally to punishment or behavioral interventions. "Unlike adult-onset patients, however," the researchers say, "the two patients had defective social and moral reasoning, suggesting that the acquisition of complex social conventions and moral rules had been impaired." While adult-onset patients possess factual knowledge about social and moral rules (even though they often cannot follow these rules in real life), Damasio et al.'s childhood-onset subjects appeared unable to learn these rules at all. This may explain, the researchers say, why their childhood-onset subjects were much more antisocial, and showed less guilt and remorse, than subjects who suffered similar damage in adulthood.''
