In this review, we summarize previous findings on the effects of early post-stroke mobilization. Focusing upon stroke patients, the A Very Early Rehabilitation Trial (AVERT) Phase II and Phase III trials examined the effects of early mobilization within 24 h of a stroke. Early mobilization, results suggest, could be both potentially harmful to and potentially beneficial to the post-stroke recovery process. However, while the effect of early rehabilitation on ADL in most previous studies has been examined by nurses and therapists, and only a small number of studies have reported similar assessments conducted by therapists specializing in post-stroke rehabilitation. Conversely, at our hospital, first assessment is by a physician, who then refers patients to a physiatrist, who in turn evaluates the specific needs for rehabilitation, and then refers them to a registered physical therapist and occupational therapist with the aim of providing early mobilization (physiatrist and registered therapist operating rehabilitation: PROr). Based on this background, we conducted two studies to examine the effects of PROr in patients that have had a stroke. Rehabilitation within 24 h of stroke onset did not increase the risk of mortality or recurrence, but several benefits were suggested., REVIEW ARTICLE}, title = {Effects of early physiatrist and registered therapist operating rehabilitation (PROr) in patients with stroke}, year = {2022} }
