  • Eating difficulties' impact varied, influenced more by survivor response than objective severity.
  • Eating remained socially, psychologically, and functionally important, with some maintaining pre-stroke activities.

    • Conclusions:

    • Findings are crucial for early stroke rehabilitation strategies.
    • Continuing care services require review regarding eating-related support.
    • The neglect of eating-specific care in stroke recovery is a significant oversight.
