Predicting longitudinal progression in functional mobility after stroke: A prospective cohort study

Whatever the fuck longitudinal progression is? Anyway, useless, just more prediction crapola.  Damn, we need survivors in charge so we don't waste resources on prediction and biomarker crapola like this. 

Predicting longitudinal progression in functional mobility after stroke: A prospective cohort study

Buvarp D, et al
Stroke|June 25, 2020
The present study was undertaken to ascertain longitudinal changes in functional mobility after stroke. Researchers evaluated functional mobility applying the Timed Up-and-Go test on 5 different occasions: 5 days after onset(I think at 5 days I got my AFO), within 24 hours after discharge, 1 month after discharge, 3 months, and 1 year post stroke. They stratified stroke severity based on impairments and activity limitations using a baseline cluster analysis. Developing a multilevel model, longitudinal progression in functional mobility based on stroke severity was prognosticated. This study enrolled a total of 135 patients at baseline. It was indicated that the recovery of functional mobility differs between mild and moderate stroke. During the first 3 months, individuals with moderate stroke improved their functional mobility, after which it decreased significantly. These data imply that long-term rehabilitation is desirable to maintain and perhaps elevate the gained functional mobility. This study highlight that older individuals and those with moderate impairments and activity limitations have particular needs. Read the full article on Stroke.
