Floor plan of the inpatient rehabilitation ward at Case 1.
The ward is located on the 1st floor. The gym and other therapy areas are on the ground floor. All measurements are in meters. Plan is not to scale.

Fig 5.
A conceptual model of the environmental principles that play a role in patient behaviour (activity and sleep), emotional well-being, and safety in stroke rehabilitation.
Definitions of the terms used in this figure are provided in text and should be considered alongside this figure when applying this model in practice.
Fig 6.
An example of how the conceptual model could be used to inform the design of communal spaces in stroke rehabilitation.
The design outcome suggested here (‘graded’ communal spaces) is only one potential design outcome to this particular design decision; a designer might generate several stroke rehabilitation-appropriate design options by applying the ENVIRONS principles to this particular design decision.
