Young Adults Rehabilitation experiences and Needs following Stroke (YARNS): A scoping review of the rehabilitation care experiences and outcomes of young adults post-stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke is one of the leading disabling conditions in the United Kingdom. While an increasing focus on the rehabilitation care for stroke survivors has been noted, practice guidelines, targets and services tend to be tailored for the elderly population rather than young adults.

Objectives

This scoping review aimed to map the existing literature on the rehabilitation care experiences and outcomes of young adults post-stroke aged between 18 and 45 years within acute and social care settings.

Methods and analysis

A scoping review was conducted to identify existing practice and published academic and evidence-based literature related to the topic. Arksey and O'Malley's framework guided the review and reporting followed the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Electronic databa
