Summary

This study aims to gather crucial information about stroke in Uganda, where the disease is on the rise. Researchers will look at how common stroke is, what factors increase the risk, and how it affects people's quality of life. The goal is to identify what rehabilitation support is needed and to inform better prevention strategies for the future.
