'Good Outcome' Isn't Good Enough Cognitive Impairment, Depressive Symptoms, and Social Restrictions in Physically Recovered Stroke Patients

摘要

Background and Purpose-Functional outcome after stroke is often only evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale, which primarily assesses activities of daily living. Stroke patients may experience difficulties with social reintegration and mental functions, feel isolated, and experience poor quality of life, even after physical recovery is complete. Functional assessments based solely on activity limitations may not be able to capture the full range of problems experienced by stroke survivors.
