Abstract:
Stroke outcomes are influenced by factors such as education, lifestyle, and access to care, which determine the extent of functional recovery. Disparities in stroke rehabilitation research have traditionally included age, race/ethnicity, and sex, but other areas make up a gap in the literature.
