Improvement During Inpatient Rehabilitation Among Older Adults With Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson Disease, and Stroke.
A Williams Andrews, Addie Middleton
PMID 29952780WHAT IT FOUND
Older adults with Guillain-Barré, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, or stroke all improved in self-care, mobility, and cognition during inpatient rehabilitation.
Patients with Guillain-Barré showed the largest gains, followed by stroke, while those with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson disease made more modest but still meaningful progress.
Key findings
01All four diagnostic groups improved across self-care, mobility, and cognition domains from admission to discharge.
02Patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome demonstrated the greatest percent improvement across all three domains.
03Older age and more comorbid conditions were associated with less functional improvement across all domains.
