Return to work after stroke is nonlinear, peaking at 18 months. Normal muscle strength and absence of apraxia significantly predict return to work for stroke survivors.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Limited data exists on the longitudinal trends of return to work (RTW) post-stroke.
  • Understanding RTW patterns is crucial for patient recovery and societal reintegration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the longitudinal trend of RTW proportion in stroke patients.
  • To identify predictors of RTW considering follow-up duration.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 183 working-age stroke patients (<65 years).
  • Follow-up questionnaire assessed RTW status.
  • Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models analyzed RTW trends and predictors.

Main Results:

  • The proportion of RTW showed a nonlinear trend, peaking at 18 months post-admission.
  • Normal muscle strength (OR 5.16) and absence of apraxia (OR 4.16) were significant predictors of RTW.
  • White-collar occupations showed a trend towards higher RTW rates (OR 1.43).

    • Conclusions:

    • Stroke patients' return to work follows a nonlinear trajectory, influenced by social security systems.
    • Preserved muscle strength and lack of apraxia are key factors enabling RTW.
    • Occupational type, particularly white-collar roles, may positively influence RTW outcomes.
