Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The goal for rehabilitation after a stroke is to maximize remaining abilities and help the patient adapt to any deficits. While curing effects of a stroke and monitoring neurological status may be important, they are not the primary goals of rehabilitation. Additionally, determining the extent of neurological deficits is typically done during the acute phase of care, not during rehabilitation.
