By Oliveira MMR, Policarpo PHVC, Malheiros JA and 3 others.
Abstract
Background

Objective
To describe and evaluate a family-based functional graphic tool-the Family Observation of Limits and Learning on Well-being (FOLLOW)-designed for the monthly assessment of post-stroke sequelae by nonprofessionals.
