Description
Elizabeth Murphy and co-authors report deep unmet need six months after stroke, found by a new kind of follow-up clinic, in a 2026 conference abstract. A Dublin stroke center built the clinic in 2023, led by a physiotherapist, a speech therapist, and an advanced nurse. Every survivor gets a structured review half a year after going home, scored on a standard assessment tool. Those with rehab needs join a short outpatient course.
The clinic saw 519 people in its first thirty months, most of them stroke survivors near age seventy. Nearly all, about 94 percent, named at least one unmet need, with a middle count of five needs each. Fatigue led the list, then low exercise, pain, and anxiety. Roughly a quarter needed physiotherapy. The team says the clinic finds more need than past studies saw, and plans to hunt the traits that predict it and its tie to readmissions.
