Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Evaluate the effect of an innovative 8 week yoga-based rehabilitation intervention on 1) stroke specific quality of life (QoL) and 2) activity and participation scores in veterans with chronic stroke.Rationale/Background: Declines in Quality of Life (QoL), activity, and participation are common after stroke.Such declines are related to increased mortality, dependence, and costs.As more people live with long-term effects of stroke, it is necessary to develop innovative and evidence-based rehabilitation and occupational therapy interventions to improve QoL, activity, and participation in people with chronic stroke.
