Abstract
Henderson (1980) claims that, the unique function of the nurse renders her 'rehabilitator par excellence'. This paper seeks to examine the perceived role of the nurse in the rehabilitation of stroke patients, to assess the extent to which the literature reflects Henderson's claim as a reality, or as a chimerical ideal.Keywords
