Abstract

The role that can be effectively played by the orthopaedic surgeon in the long-term management of the stroke victim is often overlooked. Post-stroke patients rely heavily on the orthopaedist, amongst other members of the multidisciplinary team, to regain the maximum possible functional status following the stroke event. A great need to understand and implement the principles of post-stroke orthopaedic treatment and rehabilitation exists in our own community and practice.
