STROKE: OUTCOMES

Course overview

Clinically, stroke outcomes vary based on the type, severity, and location of the stroke and on treatment. Potential outcomes in survivors of stroke include motor, sensory, cognitive, communication, and swallowing impairments. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of stroke outcomes, including factors that influence stroke outcomes and treatment that improves outcomes, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
