Rehabilitation and continence promotion following a stroke.
About 100,000 people in England and Wales experience a stroke each year. Nine out of ten strokes affect people aged over 55 years and 300,000 people are living with disability caused by stroke. About a third of people who experience a stroke will die within the first year, one third will make a good recovery and the final third will experience moderate to severe disabilities (Westcott, 2000).
