The impairments experienced following a stroke or brain injury will depend on the severity of the injury, and on what area of the brain was affected.

After a stroke or brain injury, you are likely to need help to regain your functional abilities, learn new skills and cope with any remaining difficulties. This process is called rehabilitation, and occupational therapy can support you along the way.
