Effect of inpatient rehabilitation on self-care and functional activities in acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent thrombectomy

Goal-directed inpatient rehabilitation was associated with substantial improvements in both self-care and functional mobility following thrombectomy. The most notable gains were in showering/bathing and sit-to-lying transitions. These findings demonstrate that structured inpatient rehabilitation is associated with measurable improvements in functional recovery in stroke patients post-thrombectomy.
