Abstract

This article investigates the perceived impact of limb function loss in stroke patients, focusing on the subjective experiences and perspectives of stroke patients. A total of 73 participants completed online questionnaires assessing the importance of limb function and functional status. The majority of stroke patients experienced impairments in both foot and hand limbs, with hand function being considered more important than foot function by 68% of patients. Dressing and grooming were rated as the most severe problem, highlighting the significance of hand function in daily activities. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to improve hand mobility and dexterity in stroke patients. The results contribute to a better understanding of the challenges faced by stroke patients and have implications for stroke rehabilitation.
