Technical and
Medical Specs

This page lists the medical details of my stroke and the technical tools I use to build software.

Medical Details

Burt Lao had a stroke in 2015. Below are the medical terms for the challenges he faced:

Cerebral Embolism and Infarction A blood clot blocked oxygen flow to the brain, causing damage.
Right Hemiparesis Weakness on the right side of the body. This makes it harder to type, move, and walk.
Motor Aphasia Difficulty turning thoughts into speech and writing. This required intensive speech therapy.
Dysarthria Slurred speech caused by weak facial muscles.
