Have the skills to apply an evidence-based approach to the physical, psychological, communication, cognitive, perceptual, occupational and socioeconomic impact of stroke using a multi-professional approach. 2. Identify patterns of recovery and their potential impact on a stroke survivor's social context. 3.
