Demographic variables, strokeseverity, community integration, participation in everyday occupations, and perceptions of recovery wereexamined as potential contributors to their perceptions of participation.METHODWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 116 people with mild to moderate first strokeassessed approximately 6 mo after stroke.RESULTSPerceptions of participation assessed using the Stroke Impact Scale varied (range 5 19–100),with a mean score of 82.
