Of the 373 stroke patients 95 were admitted to the feasibility study of
stroke rehabilitation. The patients were divided into two groups, an
intensive and a normal treatment group. In this study, the functional
recovery of stroke, measured by ADL and motor function was significantly
better in the intensive treatment group. There was no difference in
institutionalization or incidence of death between the groups. The gain of
ADL and motor function was greatest during the first three months after
stroke in the intensive treatment group. The conclusion is that intensified
physiotherapy seems to improve the functional recovery of stroke patients.
