| Abstract: | Background Each year, approximately 12,000 Australians of working age survive a stroke. As a group, younger stroke survivors have less
physical impairment and lower mortality after stroke compared with older survivors; however, the psychosocial and economic
consequences are potentially substantial. Most of these younger stroke survivors have responsibility for generating an income
or providing family care and indicate that their primary objective is to return to work. However, effective vocational rehabilitation
strategies to increase the proportion of younger stroke survivors able to return to work, and information on the key target
areas for those strategies, are currently lacking. |
