Computed tomography (CT) brain scans, angiography, lumbar puncture, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are all used to rule out any other possible causes of the symptoms seen.

Why is there muscle weakness after a stroke?

When there is apparent muscular weakness after a diagnosed stroke, the problem typically is not with the muscle, but with interruption of the neural pathways that access the muscle in question. As the stroke has killed off some of the neural connections to that muscle or muscles, weakness will appear until (and if) a sort of "re-routing" occurs and neural pathways are established once more.
