Mobilization within 24 hours of new-onset stroke enhances the rate of home discharge at 6-months follow-up: a prospective cohort study

Previous research indicates a better improvement of functional independence measure (FIM) at discharge in acute-stroke patients who received physiatrist and registered therapist operating rehabilitation (PROr) within 24 hrs compared with those who received after 24 hrs was reported. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to determine whether PROr provided within 24 hrs for new-onset stroke patients affects home-discharge rate at 6 months later.Acute new-onset stroke patients admitted to our hospital and received PROr (A total of 139 patients [VEM (Starting PROr within 24 hrs of new-onset stroke may help to increase home-discharge rates at 6-month follow-up, simultaneously with a higher FIM. Very early mobilization in our hospital did not increase the risks of recurrence or death.
