Eligible patients were stratified according to their weighted corticospinal tract lesion load and then randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 121) or a control group (n = 103). The experimental group received rehabilitation nursing from well-trained, qualified nurses (30 minutes per session, two sessions per day for seven consecutive days). The control group received therapist-led rehabilitation with the same timing and frequency. Comparative analysis of the primary outcomes was performed to determine non-inferiority with a predetermined non-inferiority margin. The primary outcomes were the Motor Assessment Scale, Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and the Action Research Arm Test assessed at baseline and after seven days of treatment. The secondary outcomes were the modified Barthel Index, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and the modified Rankin Scale, evaluated before and after the intervention and at 4 and 12 weeks of follow-up.Results: Two hundred participants completed the trial. In both groups, all outcomes improved significantly after seven days and at follow-ups. The rehabilitation nursing program was non-inferior to therapist-led treatment with lower 95% confidence limits beyond the margins for primary outcomes (P < 0.001).Conclusion: Both treatments had comparable effects; however, no definite conclusion could be drawn. Adequately powered studies are required.Keywords: rehabilitation, nursing, acute ischemic stroke, motor functionWang JZhang YChen YLi MYang HChen JTang QJin JDove Medical Pressarticlerehabilitationnursingacute ischemic strokemotor function.GeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 16, Pp 1173-1184 (2021)
