Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the length of hospital stay for rehabilitation affects functional outcomes of stroke patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The medical records of patients who were admitted to a rehabilitation unit were analyzed retrospectively. The functional output, the level of spasticity, and the level of motor development at admission and discharge will be determined using the Functional Independence Measure instrument, the Modified Ashworth Scale, and the Brunnstrom test, respectively. Based on the length of hospital stay, patients will be divided into two groups: hospital stays ≤ 3 months (Group 1) and \> 3 months (Group 2). Clinical features and functional output will be compared between the groups.
