Abstract:
Stroke is a primary cause of disability and may have a major impact on an individual's capacity to engage in everyday activities. Rehabilitation aeftr a stroke is a critical part of stroke recovery and may help patients restore function and enhance their quality of life. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the barriers to successful post-stroke rehabilitation and the duration, type, and frequency of rehabilitation services received by stroke survivors. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was con ducted at Stroke Centres in Lahore, with 87 stroke survivors surveyed through a sample of convenience. Demographic, stroke, and rehabilitation information was collected using a questionnaire. The data was analysed using SPSS 25.0. Results: The result showed that most of the participants were ranging from the age of 50 to 59 years or older, male, with a high school diploma, and retired. The most participants had an ischemic type of stroke on the right side of the brain. The majority of the participants had b een undergoing rehabilitation for 4 -6 months or 7-12 months and received physical therapy. Most of the participants received rehabilitation 3 -4 itmes per week or more mties per week. Most of the participants were either satisefid or very satisefid with their post-stroke rehabilitation. Conclusion: These findings provide important insights into the barriers to successful post-stroke rehabilitationand the rehabilitation services received by stroke survivors and can be useful in guiding the development and improvement of rehabilitation services. Further research with larger and more diverse study populations is needed to fully understand the barriers to post-stroke rehabilitation and the potential impact of demographic and rehabilitation factors on poststroke rehabilitation outcomes.
