Fuller et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Central pontine myelinolysis (n=1). Interdisciplinary post-acute rehabilitation was evaluated on Improvements in function in all areas of mobility, swallowing, communication, and self-care. Interdisciplinary post-acute rehabilitation over 6 weeks resulted in functional improvements in mobility, swallowing, communication, and self-care for a patient with central pontine myelinolysis.
