Summary

Early rehabilitation is feasible for stroke patients is still under debate. In addition, IA thrombectomy has been a new treatment for the past few years and currently no known research exploring the efficacy of very early rehabilitation after thrombectomy, or any possible rehabilitation-related adverse effects. Therefore, in this study, the investigators will investigate the effectiveness of earlier rehabilitation intervention after IA thrombectomy for cerebral large vessel occlusion based on functional independence.

Detailed description

The study will be the prospective randomized controlled trial, where patients eligible for inclusion will be randomly assigned to earlier rehabilitation group or control group. The investigators will analyze the correlation between frequency/intensity of rehabilitation and primary/secondary outcomes. Dose-response analysis for earlier rehabilitation will be performed.
