This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between self-efficacy and post-stroke activity limitations, locomotor ability, physical activity, and community reintegration in Benin, a sub-Saharan African country. To achieve this purpose, a selection of stroke patients was made from the admission registers of the physiotherapy clinics (rehabilitation units) of three reference hospitals in Benin from January to April 2018. Stroke patients who were still continuing their rehabilitation sessions were informed by direct contact. Those who had already finished their sessions were informed by telephone.

Activity limitations, locomotor ability, physi...
