The rate of return to work in patients with higher brain dysfunction after stroke is low, and improvement in support for return to work is needed. We intervened with simulated job training and gradual support in continuous employment at a rehabilitation hospital which resulted in the patient with higher brain dysfunction after stroke successfully returning and continuing to work. This study aims to demonstrate how to use the simulated job training and gradual support in continuous employment, as well as clarifies the effectiveness of the simulated job training and gradual support in continuous employment. As a result, this case successfully returned to work as a part-time worker and full-time worker 11 and 12 months respectively after the stroke onset. These findings suggest the effectiveness of interventions with simulated job training and gradual support in continuous employment as support for returning to work at a rehabilitation hospital.
