Useless. This statement is totally fucking useless with no reference to what protocols were used. Comprehensive rehabilitation had a positive effect on the body mass components.

Background and objectives:
Stroke is
one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and long-term adult
disability. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in body mass
composition in patients after stroke in connection with selected
socio-demographic and clinical factors (sex, age, type of stroke and
time from the first symptoms) following the rehabilitation process.
Materials and Methods:
The study group consisted of 100 post-stroke subjects who participated
in a comprehensive rehabilitation program for a duration of five weeks.
The measurements of body composition by a Tanita MC 780 MA analyser were
performed on the day of admission to hospital, on the day of discharge
(after 5 weeks) and 12 weeks after discharge from hospital.
Results:
It was shown that before rehabilitation (Exam I) in the study group
there were significant differences in body composition relative to sex,
age and time from stroke. The rates of fat mass % and visceral fat level
decreased after rehabilitation (Exam II) in both males and females.
Exam II, at the end hospital rehabilitation, showed lower levels of fat
mass %, visceral fat level, as well as fat-free mass % and higher values
of total body water % and muscle mass %. In Exam III, i.e., 12 weeks
after discharge, all of the parameters retained their values.
Conclusions:
The study shows an association between stroke risk factors (primarily
age, sex and time from the onset of the first symptoms of stroke) and
body mass composition resulting from rehabilitation. The type of stroke
and the effects of rehabilitation on body mass components showed no
differences. Comprehensive rehabilitation had a positive effect on the
body mass components.
