TL;DR
There are some differences in beliefs between stroke patients identified as having low or high motivation for rehabilitation, and these beliefs seem to be influenced by the environment in which the patient is rehabilitated.
Abstract
There are some differences in beliefs between stroke patients identified as having low or high motivation for rehabilitation. These beliefs seem to be influenced by the environment in which the patient is rehabilitated. Professionals and carers should be made aware of the ways in which their behaviour can positively and negatively affect motivation.

It is suggested that dilemmas that patients face following a stroke are responses to medicine’s limits and scope as well as reflections of medicine's goals and values, and phenomenological studies of existential responses to illness are necessary in order to understand cultural sources of unmet expectations resulting from chronic conditions.
