Purpose of Review

Social isolation and loneliness are prevalent among stroke survivors and have negative consequences on physical and psychological well-being. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview and evidence-based recommendations to assist clinicians and researchers in understanding the evaluation and treatment options to address social isolation and loneliness in individuals after stroke.

Recent Findings

This review outlines a framework for understanding social isolation, loneliness, and related concepts, followed by a discussion of the potential mechanisms involved. This review also summarizes various assessments for measuring these concepts and provides recommendations on treatment options for stroke survivors. However, the knowledge about post-stroke social isolation and loneliness is limited, necessitating careful use of appropriate measures and treatments in specific contexts.

Summary

Our review synthesizes the literature on managing social isolation and loneliness post-stroke. Future research should focus on developing specific strategies to enhance social connections among individuals after stroke.
