Disability evaluation following stroke.
The physician performing a disability evaluation needs to document the stroke patient's impairments carefully. This is achieved through a thorough history, physical examination, and if necessary, neuropsychologic assessment. Most often, the clinician will deal with the Social Security Administration system; however, the physician may occasionally need to provide this information for private disability insurance.
