BRAIN INJ , 2004, vol. 18, n° 8, p. 811-823 Doc n°: 114146 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AF21 - ACCIDENTS VASCULAIRES CEREBRAUX, AF3 - TRAUMATISME CRANIEN Investigation of post-acute brain injury rehabilitation (PABIR) for persons with stroke. Research design: Pre-post-treatment observation study. Methods and procedures: Demographic and medical data for 127 persons with stroke admitted for PABIR at a median interval of 87 days post-stroke were abstracted from medical records. Participants' levels of independence and productivity were assessed at admission and discharge. Follow-up data were available for 90 participants at a median interval of 346 days post-discharge. Experimental interventions: Not applicable. Main outcomes and results: Participants showed improvements in productivity and independence level from admission to discharge and these gains were maintained at follow-up. Predictors of productivity at discharge were gender and level of independence at admission (Model R-2 = 0.28). Predictors of independence at discharge were similar (Model R-2 = 0.37). Conclusion: While this investigation has limitations, findings suggest that PABIR is beneficial for some persons with strokes. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
