Abstract

Under disabling conditions such as stroke, fatigue may worsen other symptoms and impede full participation in a rehabilitation program. The functional improvement needed to regain mobility and independence may be impacted significantly by fatigue. This article explores the symptom of fatigue and its relation to stroke from a rehabilitation perspective. It examines theoretical models, operational definitions, fatigue as a response to stroke, assessment and measurement instruments, symptom management strategies, and future research directions.
