Conditions
Brief summary
Early stroke rehabilitation is known to be an effective and essential therapy in gaining functional independence and preventing complications. However, there was no consensus of proper amount of motor rehabilitation in stroke patients. In this study, the investigators investigated the effects of the intensive motor rehabilitation during subacute phase to improve motor function at 6 months after onset in patients with first-ever strokes.
