TL;DR
Results of both methods confirmed significant impact of the stroke on participation level that is persistent even 6 months poststroke.
Abstract
PURPOSE AND METHOD: This descriptive study is aimed at documenting changes in participation level (accomplishment of daily activities and social roles) from quantitative (n = 35) and qualitative (n = 5) perspectives in individuals who have had a first "mild" stroke compared to their prestroke level. With advances in technology (e.g., increased use of thrombolitic therapy), the prevalence of mild stroke is expected to increase. Yet these strokes are rarely referred to rehabilitation, and little is known about the consequences of stroke on patients' lives. CONCLUSION: Results of both methods confirmed significant impact of the stroke on participation level that is persistent even 6 months poststroke.

A pilot study with a measurement tool (LIFE-H) of the concepts of life habits and handicap situations found that the LIFE-H items covered most of a person's life habits (ADL and social roles) and that it could be used to determine the appearance of handicapped situations.
StrokeA Randomized, Controlled Pilot Study of a Home-Based Exercise Program for Individuals With Mild and Moderate Stroke
350 Citations1998Pamela W. Duncan, Lorie Richards +6 more
This study demonstrated that a randomized, controlled clinical trial of a poststroke exercise program is feasible and measures of neurological impairments and lower extremity function showed the most benefit.
StrokeHealth Status of Individuals With Mild Stroke
251 Citations1997Pamela W. Duncan, Gregory P. Samsa +6 more
The stroke group was more impaired on the MOS-36 than the asymptomatic group but similar to the group with transient ischemic attack, and health-related quality of life was lowest for persons with stroke.
Journal of Advanced NursingLiving with stroke: a phenomenological study
240 Citations2000Christopher R Burton
A study underpinned by a phenomenological approach, which tracked the experiences of six patients admitted to a rehabilitation unit in the north-west of England, demonstrated that recovery from stroke involved restructuring and adaptation in physical, social and emotional aspects of an individual's life.
Disability and RehabilitationMeasuring social participation: reliability of the LIFE-H in older adults with disabilities
236 Citations2004Luc Noreau, Johanne Desrosiers +4 more
The Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H), an instrument that documents the quality of social participation by assessing a person's performance in daily activities and social roles (life habits), is considered among the instruments having the best fit with the ICF definition of participation.
Disability and RehabilitationFrustrated and invisible--younger stroke patients' experiences of the rehabilitation process
216 Citations2003Jenny Röding, Björn Gerdle +2 more
Young stroke patients are frustrated and invisible due to the fact that the rehabilitation setting does not acknowledge the different needs of young stroke patients compared with older patients, according to hypotheses generated.
Cerebrovascular DiseasesConsequences of Mild Stroke in Persons <75 Years – A 1-Year Follow-Up
196 Citations2003Gunnel Carlsson, Anders Möller +1 more
The concept of mild stroke as principally founded in motor function or ability in P-ADL therefore seems to be insufficient with respect to the patient long-term perspective.
Cerebrovascular DiseasesFunctional Recovery and Social Outcome after Cerebral Infarction in Young Adults
195 Citations1998Jean‐Philippe Neau, Pierre Ingrand +5 more
The general outcome after cerebral infarct in young adults is usually good, but the risk of a PSD is high, and only half of the patients had returned to their previous work, and a remaining psychosocial handicap and depression of sexual activity impaired the quality of life.
Journal of Neuroscience NursingNeeds, Concerns, Strategies, and Advice of Stroke Caregivers the First 6 Months After Discharge
177 Citations2002Tamilyn Bakas, Joan K. Austin +3 more
The purpose of this study was to determine the self‐reported needs, concerns, strategies, and advice of family caregivers of stroke survivors during the first 6 months after hospital discharge and to develop an initial needs and concerns checklist.
StrokeHandicap After Stroke: How Does It Relate to Disability, Perception of Recovery, and Stroke Subtype?
159 Citations2002Jonathan Sturm, Helen M. Dewey +4 more
Assessment of handicap 3 and 12 months after first-ever stroke in a community-based study found patients were handicapped across many domains, and handicap is only partly explained by disability.
Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationDriving after stroke: Driving exposure, advice, and evaluations
157 Citations1997Gary D. Fisk, Cynthia Owsley +1 more
The findings suggest that many stroke survivors are making decisions about their driving capabilities without professional advice and/or evaluation and that rehabilitation professionals need to devote more attention and resources to driving issues when working with stroke survivors and their families.
Disability and RehabilitationPredictors of handicap situations following post-stroke rehabilitation
156 Citations2002J. Desrosiers, Luc Noreau +3 more
This study revealed that, among a substantial number of personal characteristics, some were more related to a handicap measure and have greater predictive value than others and should be considered in order to better understand factors related to the development of handicap situations.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryHandicap one year after a stroke: validity of a new scale.
156 Citations1994Rowan Harwood, Patrick Gompertz +1 more
The measurements demonstrated substantial handicap one year after a stroke, reflecting considerable unmet rehabilitation needs and the scale proved acceptable to subjects, and the results were consistent with good validity.
Disability and RehabilitationHandicap in stroke survivors
141 Citations1999Philippa Clarke, Sandra E. Black +3 more

Journal of Rehabilitation MedicineParticipation after stroke compared to normal aging
96 Citations2005Johanne Desrosiers, Daniel Bourbonnais +4 more
Part of the reduction in participation in daily activities and social roles after stroke is attributable to normal aging and not entirely to the stroke itself, which helps to focus interventions on activities and roles disruption domains that are really attributable to stroke.

Leisure activities demonstrated the strongest association to subjective well-being as expressed by the ‘satisfaction’ dimension, and in stroke rehabilitation leisure activities should be addressed when assessing function and planning intervention.
