Functional Recovery and Serum Angiogenin Changes According to Intensity of Rehabilitation Therapy After Stroke

Background: Rehabilitation is still the only treatment available to improve functional status after the acute phase of stroke. Most clinical guidelines highlight the need to design rehabilitation treatments considering starting time, intensity, and frequency, according to the tolerance of the patien...

A total of seven centers participated, with functional evaluations and blood sampling during follow-up.

However, IRT patients showed earlier improvements (within 1 month) on several scales (CAHAI, FMA, and FAC; p < 0.001) and the earliest community ambulation achievements (0.89 m/s at 3 months). There was a significant difference in ANG temporal profile between the IRT and NO-IRT groups (p < 0.01). Additionally, ANG was elevated at 1 month only in the IRT group (p < 0.05) whereas it decreased in the NO-IRT group (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Our results suggest an association of rehabilitation intensity with early functional improvements, and connect the rehabilitation process with blood biomarkers.Nicolás Garcia-RodriguezNicolás Garcia-RodriguezSusana RodriguezPedro Ignacio TejadaZuberoa Maite Miranda-ArtiedaNatalia RidaoXavi BuxóMaría Engracia Pérez-MesquidaMaria Rosario BeselerJuan B.
