English
Authors' objectives:
The objective of this rapid review is to determine the optimal onset-to-admission interval (OAI) for inpatient stroke rehabilitation therapy.
Authors' recommendations:
There is evidence of very low quality that an earlier onset of rehabilitation post stroke (onset of rehabilitation before 14 days) results in increased independency and functionality compared with a later start time for stroke rehabilitation. Until better quality evidence is available the timing of rehabilitation ought to be initiated as soon as the patient is ready.
