Research progress and prospects on the middle-aged and young stroke patients' return to work

Abstract

Stroke patients' return to work (RTW) is of great economic, social and research significance. The young and middle-aged stroke patients have become the focus of attention because of their high need to RTW and the possibility of returning to work. This paper summarizes the influencing factors affecting the return of young and middle-aged stroke patients to work as well as the method to increase their RTW through literature review, so as to lay the foundation for the follow-up study.
