Fatigue – Strokengine
There are debates on whether the site of the lesion (stroke location) is related to symptoms of fatigue. Some research shows that people who have a stroke in specific parts of the brain (basal ganglia, internal capsule, brain stem, thalamus) are more likely to experience post-stroke fatigue.
