The document discusses stroke rehabilitation, including the mechanisms of impairment and recovery from stroke. It describes how rehabilitation aims to reduce disability through relearning skills and regaining independence using a multi-disciplinary approach. The goal of rehabilitation is to assess the impact of stroke and set realistic goals to restore function and independence by treating impairments and reducing barriers at all levels.
