Influence of mobility restrictions on post ‐stroke pain
ConclusionsIn conclusion, the results suggest that restrictions in mobility and low vitality have an important role on the occurrence of post ‐stroke pain. Having post‐stroke pain could be due to not able to stand without losing balance and low vitality. Thus, rehabilitation professionals may consider the importance of these factors, especially mobility restrictions, in preventing post‐stroke pain.

Occupational gaps 5 years after stroke
ConclusionsOlder age at the time of stroke and functional dependency can predict an increased number of occupational gaps.

Individuals at risk should be provided with additional interventions to reduce participation restrictions.
