| Peter G. Levine Stronger After Stroke |
15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year.
In the USA...
▶ 10% of survivors recover completely or almost completely recover.▶ 25% recover with minor impairments
▶ 40% experience moderate to severe impairments that require special care
▶ 10% require care in a nursing home or other long-term facility
▶ 15% die shortly after the stroke
▶ Approximately 14% of stroke survivors experience a second stroke in the first year following a stroke.
If we concentrate on the people who may need help with recovery we'd include survivors with
▶ minor impairments to...
▶ those requiring care in a nursing facility
This includes everything from occupational therapy to AFOs. Therefore...
11.25 million people per year worldwide will require these services and equipment.
