Study Notes

Early Mobilization

Within 24-48 hours of stroke onset, early mobilization is recommended for stroke patients.
This improves functional independence and walking ability.
Early mobilization includes out-of-bed activities like sitting, standing, and walking.
Very early mobilization within 24 hours of stroke onset, should be considered selectively.

Total amount of Exercise Therapy

Increasing the total amount of exercise therapy is recommended, considering the patient's neurological and medical status.
This can improve daily living activities and motor function.

Exercise Therapy Method

There is no superior exercise therapy method among various methods for improving motor function.
These methods include exercise relearning, neurophysiological approach, and biomechanical approach.
Individualized applications of these combined methods are recommended based on the patient's condition.

Task-Specific Training

For improving upper limb function, task-specific training is recommended.
For improving lower limb function, task-specific training is recommended.

Progressive Resistance Training

Progressive resistance training is recommended for enhancing muscle strength and endurance in stroke patients.
This training should be tailored to each patient’s abilities.

Aerobic Exercise

In stroke patients, access to community-based long-term intervention to help improve exercise capacity is recommended.
This is based on the patient’s condition and should consider their comorbidities and functional limitations.

Gait Training in a Treadmill

In stroke patients, gait training in a treadmill is recommended over no intervention as it improves walking function.
Compared to conventional therapy, the superiority of gait training in a treadmill in improving walking function cannot be concluded. Therefore, it should be applied selectively.

Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy

Functional electrical stimulation therapy is recommended for stroke patients.
This improves upper limb function and ability to perform daily activities.
It also improves lower limb function and shoulder joint subluxation.

Ankle-Foot Orthosis

The use of an ankle-foot orthosis is recommended for stroke patients with foot drop.
This is because it improves walking.

Korean Stroke Rehabilitation Guidelines

Research on guidelines for rehabilitation treatment for stroke in Korea began in 2006.
In 2009, the first edition of “Clinical Practice Guideline for Stroke Rehabilitation in Korea" was published.
The 2009 guidelines were based on guidelines for stroke treatment in the United States (2005), Europe (2003), UK (2004), Scotland (2002).
The Korean guidelines were updated in 2016.
