Abstract

Conclusion: Early intervention in stroke by medical and physical rehabilitation and regular follow-up for physiotherapy help in motor function improvement. According to the World Health Organization in 2015, stroke is the second leading cause of death and is the third leading cause of disability, with 10 million deaths and permanent disabilities have been reported. [...]early rehabilitation for stroke patients can likely reduce economic burden and can prevent negative effects on the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems and reduce immobility-related complications.141 Secondary stroke prevention remains a top priority in treating patients after the first stroke. CONCLUSION This study concluded that the early intervention in stroke patients by physical rehabilitation like physiotherapy helps in faster recovery. [...]stroke patients with the potential for functional recovery could receive regular follow-up physiotherapy treatment, which could help them to reduce economic burden and can prevent negative effects and immobility-related complications.
