[Very early mobilisation in cases of acute stroke].

Background: Since the first stroke units were established in the 1990s, early mobilisation has formed a key part of the acute treatment. In the context of an updating of national clinical guidelines for stroke, the Norwegian Directorate of Health commissioned the Institute of Public Health to prepare a systematic review of the efficacy and safety of very early mobilisation (within 24 hours) after stroke, compared with current practice, which is early mobilisation (within 48 hours).

Material And Method: We have written a systematic review based on a previous review from the Cochrane Collaboration published in 2009.
