Stroke Impact Scale

The Stroke Impact Scale is a tool used to assess the effects of a stroke on a person's daily life and overall well-being. It measures five key areas: strength, feelings, communication, daily activities, and emotions. By asking questions about these aspects, the scale helps healthcare professionals understand how a stroke has impacted an individual's quality of life. This information is crucial for creating effective rehabilitation plans and providing support tailored to each person's needs, enabling a better recovery and improved management of their condition.
