Abstract

 Goal setting is an integral component of stroke rehabilitation. It refers to a collaborative process where patients and one or several members of the multidisciplinary team(The only voice to be listened to is the survivors; The team has no say because their incompetence needs to be exposed, not agreed to!) agree on specific, often time-limited, targets.1 Such collaboration helps ensure that goals are both personally meaningful to the patient and clinically focused in light of stroke-related impairments. In practice, goals in rehabilitation may involve short-term, quantifiable, aspects of progress in the rehabilitation setting, such walking a twenty-meter distance for someone with mobility problems.(WOW! A massively low bar, so you can declare success, even though that IS NOT SUCCES FOR THE PATIENT who demands full recovery!) Goals can also be more long-term, and relate to participation in the community, such as attending a concert with a loved one.
