Overview

Retrospective cohort study demonstrates improved muscle strength and functional recovery in stroke patients, suggesting PAC programs are vital.

Key Points

  • Significant improvements in muscle strength were observed in both affected and unaffected limbs after rehabilitation.
  • Physical performance metrics such as balance and gait speed also showed meaningful enhancement following the PAC program.
  • Functional recovery indicators, including the Barthel Index and modified Rankin Scale, demonstrated positive changes after treatment.
  • These findings underscore the importance of early rehabilitation within the post-acute care phase for stroke patients.
