An expert opinion: Vocational rehabilitation after stroke

Le résumé fourni par la source

Less than half of people return to work following a stroke. For those who do, their return is often complicated by residual ‘invisible’ symptoms. It is important to ask about work and to provide intervention early in the rehabilitation process. Specialist vocational rehabilitation services can support more complex and long-term interventions, but there is a paucity of service provision which needs to be addressed. One in four strokes occur in people of working age. Return to work is often a key goal for the person with a stroke and important for maintaining quality of life and wellbeing. However, less than half of those in employment return to work after a stroke.
