- Early integrated rehabilitation therapy (EIRT) is being evaluated for its effectiveness in improving motor and neurological function after cerebral embolism, a condition that poses recovery challenges.
- A study involving 117 patients compared EIRT with standard care, using assessments like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) to measure outcomes.
- Results showed that the EIRT group had significantly better improvements in motor skills and overall recovery, suggesting that EIRT could be beneficial for stroke rehabilitation and patient quality of life.
