Quality of Life After Stroke:Impact of Stroke Type and Lesion Location
Stroke 26:402-408, deHaan,R.J.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Little attention has been focused on the relationship between neurological lesions and quality of life(QL)in stroke research.The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of stroke types and lesion locations on QL.There is only a weak relationship between lesion laterality and QL. Survivors of hemorrhagic strokes do not evidence more QL impairment than survivors of ischemic strokes.Stroke per se is not unequivocally followed by emotional discomfort.In addition to stroke type,patient and clinical characteristics are also important in explaining impaired QL patterns.
