[Rehabilitation of stroke patients].
The introduction of stroke units is the only well-documented cause of reduced stroke mortality during the latest decades. Factors affecting rehabilitation outcome in terms of activities of daily living includes hemiplegia, urinary and fecal incontinence, cognitive deficits and anosognosia. Physiotherapy, speech therapy and cognitive rehabilitation are indicated whenever the relevant symptoms are present, although there is insufficient knowledge of the relative efficiency of competing methods.
