Outcome(s)

• Primary Outcome: The following indicators are measured and evaluated at the beginning of rehabilitation in the training room and 2 weeks after the start of rehabilitation. Common assessment measures: Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Stroke impairment Assessment Set (SIAS), 10-meter walk test, Timed up and go test (TUG), Brunnstrom Stages (BRST), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Motor Activity Log (MAL), Box and Block Test (BBT), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), and Trail Making Test (TMT). Patients with ataxia: Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA). Patients with attention disorders: line and star blotting. Patients with dysarthria: Assessment of Motor Speech for Dysarthria (AMSD), Oral diadochokinesis: Scale for Contraversive pushing (SCP). Other measures deemed necessary by the investigator.
