               BACKGROUND
Selama 20 tahun terakhir, fokus dan tujuan mayor terapi stroke
adalah survival dan outcome motorik saja.
Konsekuensinya, ada beberapa komplikasi stroke terabaikan,
padahal sangat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien pasca
stroke.

Correlation of fatigue and other neuropsycological
                      aspects
  Fatigue is correlated with residual motor disability
 Primary fatigue after stroke could be linked to damage in
 neural networks, particularly reticular formation and
 attention network

               Fatigue after ischemic stroke
              is a frequent symptom even
               in patients treated with acute
                      revascularization
                          therapies
Conclusion        Could be of interest in
             developing further interventional
               studies to define therapeutic
                         strategies
