to work after a stroke. Critical elements are queried in areas of finances, stroke
impairments, interpersonal support, therapeutic support, organization influences, work or

perspective on return to work. The survey development included qualitative analysis of a
set of interviews with stroke survivors to arrive at the critical elements described above,
