Abstract
Clinical and demographic information on rehabilitation for stroke patients in Australia, Finland and South Africa were compared on length of stay, functional status on admission and discharge, functional improvement throughout the episode of care and the age distribution of the patients treated. Differences in the data have been linked to the differences in rehabilitation services provided by each country.
