- Objective:To explore the importance of client characteristics (age, sex, stroke severity and participation before stroke), rehabilitation context (in-patient or client's home) and approach (enhanced client-centeredness or not) on participation in everyday life after stroke.Methods:A secondary analysis of data on 237 participants from a previous randomized controlled trial evaluating an enhanced client-centred intervention after stroke. Plausible associations between client characteristics, context and rehabilitation approach, and a positive outcome regarding participation were explored. Three different outcome measures for participation were used: Stroke Impact Scale 3.0, domain participation; Frenchay Activities Index; and Occupational Gaps Questionnaire.Results:For all participants there was a significant association between mild stroke and a positive outcome using the Frenchay Activities Index. Among participants who had not received the enhanced client-centred approach, there was a significant association between mild stroke and a positive outcome using the Stroke Impact Scale. The context of rehabilitation, i.e. receiving home rehabilitation, was also associated with a positive outcome in the Frenchay Activities Index for the control group.Conclusion:In order to increase participation in everyday life for people after stroke it appears to be important to use an enhanced client-centred approach, particularly when working within in-patient rehabilitation and with people with moderate or severe stroke.
