Abstract: Stroke survivors face unique challenges in the outdoor environment when returning to their home community following a stroke. Challenges include navigating uneven terrain, social stigma, and adapting to changes in functioning. Outdoor environments may serve as potential points of intervention to promote independence and participation post stroke. This study aimed to understand lived post-stroke experience in the outdoor environment as it pertains to independent mobility.
