What is it about?
This research maps the interventions for 18 patients provided by a community stroke rehabilitation team to the the Extended ICF core set for stroke. This method reveals the most frequent targets of intervention and allows comparison of interventions between two ethnic groups. It shows a trend that community rehabilitation staff are providing more body function interventions than activities and participation interventions.

Why is it important?
If indeed patients are not receiving enough activities and participation interventions it may main that people are not receiving enough rehabilitation to successfully reach their protencial after a stroke. This could mean they are more reliant on support and more at risk of social isolation and depression
Perspectives
