Physiotherapists' and occupational therapists' experiences with cross-sectoral coordination of rehabilitation for people with mild stroke - a qualitative interview study.

The therapists experienced challenges in coordinating rehabilitation across sectors due to the timing of the needs assessment and contextual challenges. They used a preventive strategy of sending a plan or referral for later re-assessment. The therapists involved people with mild stroke to varying degrees. They involved relatives spontaneously. For successful rehabilitation, ongoing assessment, recognition of collaboration factors and relative involvement are essential.
