Today, March 31, marks the National Day of the Stroke Patient. Instituted since 2003, it aims to raise awareness among the general population of the problem that remains the leading cause of death and permanent disability in Portugal and one of the main ones in Europe, and to promote the improvement of professional health practices<\/p>

Physiotherapy is therefore, together with other health professions, crucial in helping stroke survivors to optimise functionality and regain autonomy.<\/p>
