stroke; interdisciplinarity; care

This special thematic issue of this journal reflects various concepts and approaches to solving people’s life situations after a brain stroke (BS). It offers many different perspectives, but they all lead to one goal – to increase the life competencies and quality of life of people after BS. From the point of view of theory and practice, we find ourselves in the field of interdisciplinarity – a vital concept of this special issue. The term interdisciplinarity” is often confused with other meanings, especially “multidisciplinarity” or “transdisciplinarity”. Interdisciplinarity is challenging. However, it has the potential to bridge the hypercomplexity of specialisations, which arise as an unintended consequence of the differentiation between science and practice.
