Abstract
A stroke team, coordinated by a physician and comprising a rehabilitation nurse and other allied medical personnel, is the most important therapeutic tool for disabled stroke patients. The natural focus for such a team is the general hospital, where most of the necessary personnel reside. Rehabilitation deals more with the disruptive aftermath of disability affecting the life patterns of patient and family than merely with optimizing physical restitution.Keywords
