Self-rehabilitation strategy for rural community-dwelling stroke survivors in a lower-middle income country: a modified Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

More than half of stroke survivors in lower-middle income countries lack access to stroke rehabilitation services. The promotion of self-rehabilitation could be promising for addressing stroke rehabilitation inadequacies in lower-middle income countries. Self-rehabilitation interventions are more readily acceptable to community-dwelling stroke survivors, and therefore, have the potential to boost the successful realization of the Sustainable Development Goals and other WHO rehabilitation goals. We report a consensus-building process that sought to identify which task trainings are relevant to include in a task-specific self-rehabilitation strategy for rural community-dwelling stroke survivors.

Methods

An iterative two-stage mixed-method consensus-building approach
