Social functioning is impaired in about two third of stroke patients in vocational age, even several months after a first-ever mild to moderate stroke. The known predictors of social functioning were initial stroke severity, anxiety and depression and the Mini Mental State Evaluation, suggesting that cognitive deficits contribute to post-stroke social dysfunctioning.
