Comparison of Stroke Outcomes.

There is a common trend to attempt to compare the outcome and abilities of one person from their stroke to another.

This is a fallacy that we should avoid.  How the stroke presented, what part of the brain had been impacted, along with other factors make a comparison inappropriate.

As there is no one specific linear model of brain injury recovery and rehabilitation there should never be an experience to experience comparison.

I did find some studies about the comparison of stroke outcomes and the in hospital experience or the amount that the health care system was required to pay for the costs of hospitalization.

I have included the links to those studies below.

Here are links to other videos  I have done about stroke goal setting and recovery.
