Summary
This study looked at whether starting more frequent or intense physical therapy within the first day after a stroke helps patients regain movement and balance. 102 adults with acute stroke were split into groups receiving standard care, more sessions, harder exercises, or both. Researchers measured improvements in sitting, standing, walking, and daily activities to find the best therapy dose for early recovery.
