Effects of day-hospital rehabilitation in stroke patients : a review of randomized clinical trials
Sammanfattning
The purpose of this study was to review the literature on the effects of day-hospital rehabilitation (DHR) in stroke patients. Data were collected by a computer-aided search of published randomised trials. Data extraction included a score for quality of the methods, based on four categories: "study population", "interventions", "effects" and "data presentation and analysis". Comparision of the results of the studies is complicated by different definitions of DHR, different natures of the control group and the study population, and the variety of measurement instrument applied.
