HEALTH CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH STROKE - A CHALLENGE FOR REHABILITATION AT HOME ENVIRONMENT

Hope you can read Bulgarian, only the abstract is in English. I would expect our great stroke association to have all relevant research translated into all major languages. 

Health care for patients with stroke-a challenge for rehabilitation at home environment

ABSTRACT
Rehabilitative care after stroke could last months
and years. This period of treatment often exceeds
all established frameworks concerning organized
provision of rehabilitation. Of particular importance
for the duration of rehabilitation management
motor deficits and psychiatric disorders available
in a considerable part of this vulnerable group. Still
no consensus on how best to help survivors of stroke
patients, using all available resources. The search for
an answer continues to provoke professionals in search
of the “golden” model for the timely provision of the
needs of this population.
A different approach to this process is counseling
the patient and their family and the preparation of
the rehabilitation plan with them. Such personal
approach implies more engaged participation of the
patient in the implementation of the rehabilitation
program. In this sense, improving the quality of life
in this vulnerable group in society is of particular
importance in the context of their early social inclusion
and reintegration.
