Abstract
PURPOSE: Return to work (RTW) after stroke is one of the critical issues for both employer and employee. Early RTW is a manifestation of social restoration for the disabled stroke as well as an effective way to reduce social costs related stroke. METHOD: This paper discusses the medical problems referred to RTW after stroke for workplace accommodation. Reviewing the literature, factors influencing RTW after stroke are addressed. RESULTS/ CONCLUSION: The process of RTW is extremely individual in each case, and affected by multiple factors. Therefore, it is necessary to individually evaluate precise impact of each factor on RTW.
