Post‐Stroke Limitations on Activities of Daily Living and Associated Factors in Public Tertiary Hospitals in Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study

The study highlights the high prevalence of limitations in basic ADL following a stroke, with significant associations found with factors such as stroke in the right hemisphere, lack of early physiotherapy, use of mobility aids, and depressive symptoms. These findings emphasize the need for early rehabilitation interventions, particularly physiotherapy, and addressing mental health to improve recovery outcomes. Healthcare providers should focus on individualized care plans that include physical and psychological support to better manage post-stroke limitations and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors.

Abstract

The study highlights the high prevalence of limitations in basic ADL following a stroke, with significant associations found with factors such as stroke in the right hemisphere, lack of early physiotherapy, use of mobility aids, and depressive symptoms. These findings emphasize the need for early rehabilitation interventions, particularly physiotherapy, and addressing mental health to improve recovery outcomes. Healthcare providers should focus on individualized care plans that include physical and psychological support to better manage post-stroke limitations and enhance the quality of life for stroke survivors.
