Self-Rehabilitation Strategy for Rural Community-dwelling Stroke Survivors in a Lower-Middle Income Country: A Delphi Study

Background More than half of stroke survivors in LMICs lack access to stroke rehabilitation services. The promotion of self-rehabilitation could be promising in an attempt to address the stroke rehabilitation inadequacies in LMICs. Self-rehabilitation interventions can easily be accepted by many community-dwelling stroke survivors, and therefore, have the potential to drive towards the successful realization of Sustainable Development Goals and other WHO rehabilitation goals. We report a consensus building process that sought to identify which task training is relevant to include in a task-specific self-rehabilitation strategy for the rural community-dwelling stroke survivors.
