Stroke patients often fail to resume full lives, even if they make a good physical recovery, and social and leisure pursuits show a particular decline. The usual goals of rehabilitation are mobility and independence in self-care, but recovery in a broader sense may be impeded if health professionals concentrate exclusively on these. Leisure has been shown to be closely associated with life satisfaction and would be a worthwhile, and now measurable, goal of rehabilitation. Elderly people show a decline in leisure activity which has been studied extensively and may provide a useful model for the more rapid decline seen in stroke patients. Further research is needed to confirm the finding that specialized occupational therapy can be effective in raising leisure activity, and to show whether this will translate into improved psychological well-being.
中风患者往往无法恢复完整的生活，即使他们在身体上恢复得很好，社交和休闲活动也会明显减少。康复的通常目标是行动能力和自理独立性，但如果健康专家只专注于这些，更广泛意义上的恢复可能会受到阻碍。研究表明，休闲与生活满意度密切相关，将是一个值得追求且目前可衡量的康复目标。老年人的休闲活动会减少，对此已有广泛研究，这可能为中风患者更快速的活动减少提供一个有用的模型。需要进一步研究来证实专门的职业治疗能有效提高休闲活动这一发现，并确定这是否会转化为心理幸福感的提升。
