Outline of Final Research Achievements

We describe a process based on effective communication within a multidisciplinary team for determining intervention points to achieve successful individualized rehabilitation in an elderly stroke patient. The communication process was designed to gain knowledge, share assessments, examine treatment options, and reflect on desired treatment outcomes. We evaluated the effectiveness of this approach in adults aged over 80 years. Our results show that having an organized communication process facilitates individualization of rehabilitation without lengthy and frequent MDT meetings and enhances the quality of rehabilitation after a stroke.
