Abstract

This study aims to estimate the impact of the pandemic on the delivery of rehabilitation care to stroke users having contracted or not COVID-19 by (1) comparing their healthcare indicators and rehabilitation outcomes and (2) identifying factors of influence. We hypothesized that rehabilitation outcomes would be negatively affected in all stroke users during the pandemic due to operational changes in the provision of rehabilitation services, even more so for those who contracted COVID-19 because of their concomitant health condition.
