This study aimed to evaluate changes in motor activity, and mental and social conditions of 10 stroke survivors after participating in the 12-week community neurorehabilitation using a family-centred approach. During the first four weeks, each client's problems, achievable goals, and a rehabilitation programme were discussed and cooperatively designed among the individual, caregiver and the investigator. Both client and caregiver were then instructed to perform the programme for four weeks with regular visits from the investigator, and were asked to continue the programme on their own for four more weeks. The outcomes were assessed at the baseline and every four weeks. The paired t-test revealed that neurorehabilitation using a family-centred approach significantly improved the client's mental and social conditions (P<0.05). Future studies with a greater number of clients and randomised controlled trial design are needed to reveal further benefits of such a rehabilitation scheme on stroke survivors in the community.
