The aim of this study is to identify the used and recommended strategies of life after stroke among Iranian people.

Also developing the socio- economic supports is crucial for assuring a more supportive approach to achieve rehabilitation services and design better educational program for them.http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-36-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1Stroke survivors lived Used and recommended strategies Life modification |
