Calls to increase support for stroke survivors
Care for stroke survivors urgently needs to focus on non-motor skill outcomes like fatigue, anxiety and reduced social participation to improve survivors' quality of life and minimise care needs, according to a new study by researchers at UCL and UCLH. The study, published in the Lancet Regional Health - Europe, is the first to comprehensively capture the wide-ranging impacts of non-motor skill outcomes in a large group of patients.
