Summary

Stroke survivors experienced a significant decline in daily activities like nutrition and personal care post-rehabilitation. Social role participation remained stable, but technology perception influenced activity decline.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Stroke survivors often face challenges resuming daily activities and social roles post-discharge.
  • Participation in life habits is crucial for recovery and quality of life after a stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare participation levels at 6 months (T1) and 2-4 years (T2) post-stroke rehabilitation discharge.
  • To investigate the association between changes in participation and personal/environmental factors.

Main Methods:

  • The study measured participation using the Assessment of Life Habits.
  • Data were collected at two time points: 6 months (T1) and 2-4 years (T2) after discharge.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A significant reduction in participation was observed in daily activities including nutrition, fitness, personal care, and housing.
  • Participation in social roles was maintained between T1 and T2.
  • Increased perception of technology as a facilitator partially explained the decline in participation (R² = 0.13).

    • Conclusions:

    • Stroke survivors show a decline in daily activity participation over time, despite maintained social role engagement.
    • Environmental factors, such as technology perception, play a role in participation changes.
    • Further research is needed to identify and address factors contributing to participation decline to inform interventions.
