9.1 Introduction

This chapter will discuss the Activities of Daily Living for patients suffering a stroke, especially the self-care activities. Patients experiencing a stroke can suffer limitations in such activities, particularly when attending to personal hygiene needs. For these important reasons, ADL’s are a big part of rehabilitation. (Re)learning activities during rehabilitation is a key focus. In addition, the considerations for the ADL training are devised. The chapter will conclude with the Barthel Index , a widely used assessment tool relating to ADL’s (Mahoney and Barthel 1965).
