  • Title: Rehabilitation of the elderly stroke patient.
    Author: Redford JB, Harris JD.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1980 Sep; 22(3):153-60. PubMed ID: 7415925.
    Abstract:
    Early organization of a coordinated effort is essential in rehabilitating the stroke victim. The basic team, in addition to the attending physician, usually consists of a physical therapist, an occupational therapist and a rehabilitation nurse. A speech pathologist, a social worker, a dietitian or an orthotist may also be needed. Contractures, decubitus ulcers, thrombophlebitis and urinary tract infections can be avoided by vigorous attention to nursing details immediately after the stroke.
