Crafting the Future of Community-Based Medical Rehabilitation: Exploring Optimal Models for Non-Inpatient Rehabilitation Services through a Narrative Review.

Community-based medical rehabilitation encompasses diverse programs that cater to patients outside of inpatient settings, such as home rehabilitation, day rehabilitation centers, and ambulatory clinics. While inpatient rehabilitation principles are widely standardized, outpatient programs display significant variability influenced by healthcare models, local environments, economic constraints, and available resources. This narrative review aims to explore and synthesize the various models of non-inpatient rehabilitation services, evaluating their effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and patient satisfaction.

[COMMUNITY-BASED REHABILITATION: IMPORTANCE, PRINCIPLES AND ADVANCEMENT IN ISRAEL].

Medical rehabilitation is developing rapidly in Israel and around the world due to the aging of the population, improvement of results of medical care, and growing awareness of the importance of rehabilitation medicine. An option of comprehensive community rehabilitation treatment is also developing quickly, both in the model of replacing hospitalization and as a professional treatment after early discharge from an inpatient program. Rehabilitation in the community has many benefits, including financial, high patient satisfaction, and in some cases even more successful results of rehabilitation.

Mean flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery is associated with rehabilitation success in ischemic stroke patients.

Objective: To evaluate the association between mean flow velocity (MFV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) measured by using transcranial Doppler (TCD) and functional and neurologic impairment change during rehabilitation after acute stroke.

Design: Cross-sectional observational study.

Setting: Acute neurologic rehabilitation department.
