A scoping review of community-based stroke rehabilitation in low-resource settings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a need for accessible and affordable rehabilitation services in low-resource settings (low- and middle-income countries) to support the increasing number of survivors of stroke.

Aims

To synthesize existing literature on the delivery of community-based stroke rehabilitation programs in low-resource settings.

Summary of review

We followed the PRISMA Scoping Review guidelines. Seven databases (including MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) were searched to identify relevant articles published between January 2012 and December 2024. Studies were considered if they included physical rehabilitation strategies as part of a community-based rehabilitation program for individuals with stroke aged ⩾18 years in low-resource settings.
