INTRODUCTION
Changes in mobility following a stroke affect func-
tional independence and quality of life [1]. Persons who
have had a stroke often rely on devices to facilitate
mobility at home and in the community. Additionally,
many individuals who have had a stroke are elderly and
may have other physical conditions associated with age
and limited mobility. Concomitant issues such as
decreased cognition, emotional liability, and economic
factors affect the overall quality of life of the person with
a stroke and the individuals who administer care [2].
Rehabilitation professionals often provide the interven-
tions that enhance function, reduce anxiety, and identify
alternative solutions to meet the individual’s needs.
