Stroke
occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted by a blood clot or heart stoppage, resulting in brain tissue damage and resultant stroke.
Blood,
being thick as opposed to watery, coagulates, or becomes thicker in viscosity
when body temperature drops in tandem with room temperature, thus hindering
blood flow to the brain which controls everything from reflexes and sensation
to motor function and muscle tone.
In normal
people, such cold conditions neither restrict nor hinder physical movement. In
stroke patients, however, hindered blood flow to a brain consisting of damaged
brain tissue only worsens the stroke patient's condition.
