Studies of not selected stroke patients have demonstrated that within 1 week of stroke 68-88% are dependent in some aspects of ADLs and mobility. At 6 months the percentage of survivors needing some help is 40.53% and at 1 year 33%. (Kotila, Waltimo et al. 1984; Dombovy, Basford et al. 1987); (Wade and Hewer 1987).
