Stroke rehabilitation: part I. Cognitive deficits and prediction of outcome.
In many cases, the family physician will set the tone for rehabilitation of the stroke patient. It is imperative that the physician understand the recovery process, as well as the nature, benefits and limitations of rehabilitation. Since there are no precise predictors of individual outcome, no patient should be excluded from rehabilitation unless he is too ill or too cognitively devastated to participate.
