ResumoIn 1986, the functional capacity of 124 patients with an acute stroke was assessed one week after admission to Södertelje hospital, Sweden. In order to analyse health-related quality of life, interviews were undertaken to determine sickness impact 6–9 months after stroke. 57 of the 91 surviving patients could participate. 53 persons were living in their own homes. 70% had a clinically significant subjective dysfunction, which correlated both to the objective functional capacity and to age.Sickness Impact Profile was a useful measure, yielding information of value for planning of long-term rehabilitation and home care.
