Of these the resent developed three six stroke engines‚ i.e.‚ Beare head‚ Bruce crowers and Velozeta’s are undergoing tremendous research works. During every cycle in a typical four stroke engine‚ piston moves up and down twice in the chamber‚ resulting in four total strokes and one of which is the power stroke that provides the torque

are many risk factors associated with stroke. The more risk factors a person has‚ the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke.

The NSS (2008) highlights quality markers recommending early supported discharges (ESD) for stroke patients‚ this is supported by Walker (2007) who confirms rehabilitation of stroke patients has become a national priority‚ driven by evidence based research. Economic drivers in ESD highlight financial incentives for reducing hospital stay of stroke patients which according to the DH (2007b) is based on tariff periods whereby low tariff periods result in higher turnover

Strokes are caused by a temporary or permanent decrease in cerebral blood flow resulting from a stenosis or arterial occlusion (Montagu‚ et al.‚ 2012). Despite being the predominant cause of acquired disability in England and Wales‚ a stroke can be both preventable and treatable (Lövblad‚ et al.‚ 2015). The societal costs arising from stroke‚ including treatment and productivity loss‚ account for approximately 5% of total UK NHS costs‚ at around £8.9 billion a year (Saka‚ McGuire and Wolfe‚ 2008)
