Lay summary
Despite an ongoing focus on improving the quality of stroke care in Aotearoa, audits of stroke rehabilitation highlight delays and limitations in service provision. These limitations are further exacerbated for some people with stroke who experience inequities in access to and outcomes from stroke rehabilitation associated with ethnicity, geographical location, and communication abilities. This kaupapa (project) aims to co-create, put into practice, and evaluate culturally responsive and evidence-based kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (in-person) and matihiko (digital) approaches to stroke rehabilitation, which promote equity in access and outcomes for people with stroke and their whānau. The team is committed to ensuring that the tikanga, kawa, and te reo (ways of knowing, doing, and saying) of people living with stroke, and their whānau, hapu, iwi, marae, and communities do flourish.
