Stroke is a serious cerebrovascular disease that can cause disability and death if not treated with appropriate treatment methods at the right time. In ischaemic stroke, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment is effective in motor deficit recovery, especially in the first 4.5 hours. In this case study, rt-PA thrombolytic treatment of patients with motor deficit after acute ischaemic stroke aged 58 and 79 years was found to improve the loss of motor function.
