Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|

Memory performance will be measured using the 15 word test and the two story test from the RBMT. Coping will be measured using the assimilation-accommodation coping scale. Furthermore, usage of care will be measured in order to gain insight in the relation between MSE and the use of care long term after stroke. | — |
