Abstract
To determine what effect stroke might have on family interaction, common stroke outcome variables were used to predict family function for a sample of 78 families in which one member had recent onset of stroke. Traditional stroke-outcome predictors were not useful in accounting for variance in family function. The nature of family dynamics after disability may require additional research because the relationship is complex.
