Inpatient Rehabilitation and Its Impact on Postural Control, Balance, Mobility, Motor Performance, and Physical Activity in People With Acute Stroke: A Case Series
Case series investigates inpatient rehabilitation effects on balance and mobility in individuals with acute stroke, highlighting the importance of early intervention.
Key Points
This study aims to explore how inpatient rehabilitation influences postural control, balance, mobility, motor performance, and physical activity in people with acute ischemic stroke.
Six participants with acute stroke underwent inpatient rehabilitation during their hospital stay.
Evaluated using PASS-T, MSAS, RMI, and FMA before and after rehabilitation.
Physical activity was measured with the ActiGraph GT9X link accelerometer.
No improvements in PASS-T, MSAS, RMI, and FMA scores were observed, except for Case 5.
Overall, participants remained sedentary; however, activity levels including energy expenditure and moderate to vigorous activity increased from baseline to discharge.
