The Evolving Role of the Program Coordinator: Five Essential Skills for the Coordinator Toolbox.

Improving outcome in stroke patients with visual problems.

Background: stroke is a common condition, frequently with significant effects on a patient's ability to live an active and independent life.

Objective: this article aims at providing a broad overview of the literature relating to visual problems in stroke patients, looking particularly at the impact on, and the potential for, recovery and rehabilitation.
