About

This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of initial limb rehabilitation compare therapy took place within 48h with therapy took place after 48h for patients with stroke (modified Rankin Scale Score 3-4).

Full description

Early rehabilitation after stroke is thought to contribute to the effects of stroke-unit care. However, time of initial rehabilitation therapy is poorly defined and not underpinned by strong evidence in patients with stroke (modified Rankin Scale Score 3-4). The investigators do this parallel-group, single-blind, randomized controlled trial in shengjing hospital of China Medical University. Participants (aged≥18 years) with ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, first or recurrent, who meet physiological criteria are randomly assigned (1:1), to receive usual stroke therapy. Treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is allowed. Randomisation is stratified by study site and stroke severity. The primary outcome was a outcome 3 months after stroke, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 3-4. The investigators do analysis on an intention-to-treat basis.
