We have already seen that the nature of stroke is:
- Complex
- Individual
- Difficult to predict in the acute stage
Therefore, prediction of recovery can never be absolute.
‘Many impairments and activity restrictions are present from the onset of stroke. Some recover rapidly and completely and may no longer be present when care is transferred from the inpatient setting. Other problems will persist over weeks, months and years and may even increase over time as the person’s priorities alter and an awareness develops of the challenges of life after stroke.’
