Die lebensqualität nach einem schlaganfall mit locked-in-syndrom

There is a widespread belief which indicates that a severe physical restriction makes people unhappy. However, this study on stroke patients cannot confirm this particular belief. Persons diagnosed with Locked-in syndrome, mainly those who were completely paralysed as well as those who were not able to communicate verbally, and stroke patients not affected by the syndrome, were asked to estimate their quality of life. There were no statistically significant differences between the estimates of both groups and there was no relationship between the quality of life and the physical illness due to a chronic stroke Locked-in syndrome.
