Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Research has shown that rehabilitation at almost any Body Mass Index (BMI) level leads to positive functional outcomes. Some data demonstrating that gains are often more rapid at BMI above "normal". The aim of this study is to investigate the association between BMI and the functional progress of all patients admitted to Tan Tock Seng Tertiary Rehabilitation Center.
