Rehabilitation. Does it make a difference?
Stroke is a major cause of disability. Comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment and treatment programs have been proven to improve survival and functional outcome compared with less organised systems of stroke care. Patients who undergo such rehabilitative programs are more likely to be alive and living at home 1 year later.
