Stroke remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and significantly affects patients’ physical, psychological, cognitive, and social functioning. The quality of life of stroke survivors is influenced by age-related characteristics, including physical capacity, cognitive abilities, emotional stability, and social adaptation. This article examines age-related approaches to optimizing the quality of life of patients with stroke. The study highlights the importance of comprehensive rehabilitation, psychological support, social integration, and individualized intervention programs. The findings suggest that age-sensitive rehabilitation strategies can significantly improve patients’ adaptation, independence, and overall well-being.
