Summary

This study looked at whether starting more frequent or intense physical therapy within 24 hours of 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. The goal was to see if a higher dose of therapy in the hospital improves long-term recovery and reduces hospital stays.
