Editorial: Transitional and long-term continuous care & rehabilitation after stroke

Abstract: Editorial on the Research Topic Transitional and long-term continuous care & rehabilitation after strokeStroke incidence and prevalence are increasing, causing substantial socioeconomic burdens and loss of healthy life-years worldwide (1). Timely acute treatment, such as thrombolysis, is crucial to reduce mortality and disability; however, many stroke survivors have to live with disabilities after acute care (1-4). Therefore, continuous rehabilitation and long-term care to meet the needs of individual stroke s… Show more

“…Depending on the phase of the disease, there are two main scopes of assistance in pwS ( 9): (1) the hospitalization phase or acute phase (from the onset of the symptoms to the hospital discharge), in which the treatment must be applied by a multidisciplinary team, including physical therapy (PT) (10); and (2) the subacute phase (3-6 months after the stroke), in which the PT treatment is essential to prevent complications and recover the patient's maximum functional capacity possible, to maximize his/her personal autonomy and his/her family and social reintegration (11). In this phase, PT can be performed as outpatient treatment (home care), in a hospital scope (12), and a mediumor long-stay center or hospice, depending on the clinical and/or social situation of the pwS. Hospital PT after suffering a stroke produces improvements in all patients, regardless of their age; however, age reversely predicts a good functional result (13) (the younger the patient, the better the results).…”

“…The role of PT in pwS must begin after an initial evaluation aimed at establishing a PT diagnosis from the results obtained in it. This diagnosis is based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), which considers deficiencies in bodily functions and structures, activity limitation, participation restriction, and existing contextual factors, both environmental and personal (12,16). This allows for establishing the prognosis and the treatment objectives and developing a PT intervention plan (17,18).…”
