A woman described a stroke at the age of 24 how she managed to sing before she could speak while she was recovered.
Clark, 26, was given a 10 % opportunity to live, with her family’s news to say “Goodbye” when she suffered from automatic brain bleeding.
Mrs. Clark survived Denton, Manchester, after she was placed in a desirable coma, but she has severe complications including the need to read and walk again.
But she can sing her favorite songs, the word word, before she can get to know her mother.
Mrs. Clark is not alone, a new survey by the stroke association revealed that 35 % of the stroke survivors are able to sing better than speaking in the weeks and months that followed the stroke.
The survey of 1000 people had a stroke that 33 % lost the ability to speak after a stroke.
About 26 % said they can sing or vigor before they can talk at all.
61 % said that music helped improve their communication skills after stroke, as half of them (51 %) said it had helped their memory.
The stroke association said that research indicates that singing can enhance communication and speech for people who suffer from speech loss – which is to hinder language and communication, which makes people struggle to speak, read, write or understand the language.
Mrs. Clark supports a new campaign by The Charity Sing4stroke.
Two years ago she was enjoying this afternoon with friends when she had severe pain in her head and was fine.
She was transferred to the hospital where she discovered that she was suffering from bleeding in the brain and was placed in supporting life.
Mother Linda Clark said: “The doctors made a depletion, but pressure on her brain was huge.
“I got a 10 % chance to stay – it was terrifying.”
But two weeks after he put it in a inherited coma, Mrs. Clark began moving a small finger.
It was removed from a coma and began to breathe again on its own.
But this was just a start to spend a nine months in the hospital and Mrs. Clark needed to learn to read and walk again.
She said: “It was more like being a child again, I had to learn everything from scratch.”
During the recovery process, it was found that Mrs. Clark can sing her favorite songs before she can perform many other tasks.
Her mother said: “Summer suffered from many cognitive problems, but singing came to her naturally.
She said that her favorite daughter’s song during recovery was proud of Tina Turner.
“Anything we played, I remembered his words, even if I didn’t get to know my own mother, it was very strange,” added Mrs. Clark, who worked as a group in the cabin in British Airways before a stroke.
“Singing can be a powerful tool in restoring stroke of those who face difficulties in communication,” said Juliet Bouviri, CEO of the stroke association.
“Since music and singing are treated in a different part of the brain to the spoken language, some people with communication problems find that they can sing easily, although speaking is difficult.”
The charity launched a new campaign that urges people to raise money by singing.
“There are now more than 1.4 million survivors of a stroke in the UK, and this number is growing,” said Ms. Puffy.
“The effect of stroke can completely change life. We believe that everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, but we need your support.”
