stroke patients
Post-brain-attack individuals
Stroke patients are people who have suffered a stroke—a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain causing damage.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing treatment, rehabilitation, and outcomes: Stroke patients often require months of physical therapy.
The phrase emphasizes their status as recipients of medical care rather than simply people who have had strokes.
