Abstract

Earlier and more intense rehabilitation benefit stroke patients. Yet, studies have caution intensive therapy during acute brain injury. This study examined the rehabilitation commencement time and intensity as predictors of functional outcomes in acute stroke patients admitted to the stroke intensive care unit (ICU). Sociodemographic, medical, rehabilitative and functional data were collected on 154 acute stroke patients. Regression analyses were used to identify predictors for the basic activities of daily living (Barthel Index, BI) and the walking ability at discharge. Rehabilitation commencement time and intensity significantly predicted the BI score at discharge after adjusting for initial severity (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS) and age (p < 0.05). For the walking function at discharge, only the rehabilitation intensity was a significant predictor after adjusting for initial severity and age (p < 0.05). Furthermore, with increasing rehabilitation intensity, patients with severe stroke benefited more than those with moderate stroke. Rehabilitation commencement time and intensity, after adjusting for admission functional status and severity of stroke, remained to be important predictors of stroke functiona...Continue Reading
