Methods: A total of 241 adults with recent stroke were recruited into this longitudinal cohort study. As well as participating in a semi-structured interview that included questions about mobility needs and barriers, participants were asked to complete and return a closed-ended needs-assessment survey. Results: During the interview, participants reported needs and barriers related to motor control, walking, stairs, fatigue, prevention of falls, and access to physiotherapy services. The survey identified many more needs, including transfers, wheelchair use, higher-level balance and mobility skills, and access to physiotherapy and suitable exercise facilities. Frequencies of needs and barriers tended to be lower among participants with higher acute FIM scores. There was no consistent trend for needs and barriers to decrease over time. Conclusions: Over the first year after discharge from hospital, people with stroke report a large and varied number of persistent mobility-related needs. Physiotherapists have a role to play in advocating for adequate follow-up services and informing health policy with respect to the needs of their patients with stroke. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3138\/ptc.2012-14","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,2]],"date-time":"2013-03-02T09:31:13Z","timestamp":1362216673000},"page":"204-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Physiotherapy Needs Assessment of People with Stroke Following Discharge from Hospital, Stratified by Acute Functional Independence Measure Score"],"prefix":"10.3138","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Vincent G.","family":"DePaul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton"},{"name":"School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie D.","family":"Moreland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy Department, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton"},{"name":"School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy L.","family":"deHueck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital, Burlington, Ont."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1696","reference":[{"key":"B1","unstructured":"Heart and Stroke Foundation (c2011).Stroke statistics [Internet]. cited 2011 Dec 2Ottawa: Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada[updated 2011 Nov].
