Objective: To compare outcomes in stroke survivors who received rehabilitation services in an acute inpatient rehabilitation setting (multidisciplinary rehabilitation team) with outcomes in survivors in a home-based setting (family caregivers, limited team supervision). Design: Randomized clinical trial, with mean follow-up after 60 days. Setting: Inpatient rehabilitation setting and home-based settings. Patients: Sixty patients (age range, 43-80yr) who had a stroke between 1996 and 1999 and had been referred after medical stabilization, randomly divided into 2 groups: group 1, inpatient rehabilitation; group 2, home-based rehabilitation. Interventions: Group 1: therapeutical and neuromuscular exercises with occupational therapy with professional supervision; group 2: conventional exercises with family caregiver and limited professional supervision. Main Outcome Measures: Spasticity was evaluated with the Ashworth Scale, motor status with Brunnstrom's stages, functional status with the FIMTM instrument, and cognitive status with the Mini-Mental State Examination before and after rehabilitation. Results: Patients rehabilitated in acute inpatient settings had better motor, functional, and cognitive outcomes (p < .05). Spasticity changes did not differ between the groups. Conclusion: Intense inpatient rehabilitation services for stroke survivors provide significantly more favorable functional and cognitive outcomes with relatively low complications than did nonintense rehabilitation efforts in home settings.
