| description | Stroke is becoming a major public health issue in our country due to the fact that there is
an increasing life span of our population. Due to advancement of acute management of
stroke, three out of four people will survive beyond the acute phase of stroke. Stroke care
providers are still debating regarding the exact period of the terminology ‘longer-term
stroke’; however many agreed that long-term of stroke refers to the period of one year and
thereafter as this period is the determinant for longer-term survival. Management beyond

psychological and integration into community. Rehabilitation being the cornerstone of
longer-term stroke management should now focused on more evidence-based approach
as to be effective and relevant to the stroke patients |
