The aim of the research is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the physiotherapy experience stroke survivors had during the pandemic to gain valuable information about the stroke care and management individuals received during times of uncertainty and increased pressures on services to perform with reduced resources. This purpose of the project is to ultimately inform future practise and guide future research in stroke populations and stroke services.
