Evolution of Walking Abilities in Subacute Stroke Patients Hospitalized in Neurorehabilitation Center

• Gait rehabilitation (Other): Assessment of gait and balance abilities after stroke during neurorehabilitation from the subacute phase of stroke to 6 months after stroke. The assessments will be carried out on entrance to the neurological center, then at 1 ,3 and 6 months and on hospital discharge.

Primary outcomes

• Functional Ambulation Classification [Functional Ambulation Classification will be carried out within 72 hours of admission to the neurological center, then at 1, 3 and 6 months, and at discharge from hospital (assessed up to 5 days).]: The Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) is a 6-point functional walking test that evaluates ambulation ability.

Secondary outcomes

• Postural Assesment Scale for Stroke Patient [Postural Assesment Scale for Stroke Patient will be carried out within 72 hours of admission to the neurological center, then at 1, 3 and 6 months, and at discharge from hospital (assessed up to 5 days).]: The Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) assesses balance in lying, sitting and standing positions. It was designed specifically for patients with stroke and is suitable for all individuals regardless of postural performance. The PASS consists of a 4-point scale where items are scored from 0 - 3. The total score ranges from 0 - 36, the higher the score is, the more favourable the balance in stroke patients.
• Timed Up and Go [Timed Up and Go will be carried out within 72 hours of admission to the neurological center, then at 1, 3 and 6 months, and at discharge from hospital (assessed up to 5 days).]: The Timed Up and Go is a general physical performance test used to assess mobility, balance and locomotor performance. More specifically, it assesses the ability to perform sequential motor tasks relative to walking and turning.
• 10-Meter Walk Test [10-Meter Walk Test will be carried out within 72 hours of admission to the neurological center, then at 1, 3 and 6 months, and at discharge from hospital (assessed up to 5 days).]: The 10 Metre Walk Test is a performance measure used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance
• 6Minute-Walk Test [6Minute-Walk Test will be carried out within 72 hours of admission to the neurological center, then at 1, 3 and 6 months, and at discharge from hospital (assessed up to 5 days).]: The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
• Motricity Index [Motricity Index will be carried out within 72 hours of admission to the neurological center, then at 1, 3 and 6 months, and at discharge from hospital (assessed up to 5 days).]: The Motricity Index (MI) is an ordinal method of measuring limb strength. The total score ranges from 0 - 100, with the higher numbers representing good muscle strength.
