Design: This was a retrospective, descriptive study of the demographic, functional outcomes of patients with stroke in an inpatient rehabilitation centre. A total of 2,722 patients completed a stroke rehabilitation program from 2011 to 2015 were recruited. The patients were divided into seven groups according to their admission Modified Functional Ambulation Category (MFAC). The between-group difference in length of stay (LOS), functional outcomes at admission and discharge including Modified Rivermead Mobility Index (MRMI) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) as well as MRMI gain, MRMI efficiency, MBI gain and MBI efficiency were analyzed.

Enrollment: 2,722 patients
