Abstract	Stroke is a leading cause of disability in older persons and an important cause of disability in younger people. Rehabilitation aims to hasten and maximize recovery from stroke by treating the disabilities caused by the stroke.

The booklet contains descriptions of numerous and helpful assessment instruments used by medical professionals in post-stroke rehabilitation.

It lists numerous organizations that can help caregivers learn more about the affects of stroke, while providing the stroke survivor with information about rehabilitative care and services.
