Motor stroke recovery depends on age, cognitive status, and initial function. Neuroscience nurses should prioritize cognitive assessment during acute care for better patient outcomes after stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Clinical Neurology

Background:

  • Limited descriptive studies exist for motor stroke patients.
  • Understanding factors influencing functional recovery is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a cohort of motor stroke survivors.
  • To identify key variables predicting functional recovery 3 months post-stroke.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective data collection from 100 participants.
  • Assessed age, lesion volume (MRI), motor strength (NIHSS), cognition (MMSE, NCSE), and function (FIM).
  • Used descriptive and hierarchical multiple regression analyses.

Main Results:

  • Age, cognitive status, and initial function explained 42% of functional recovery variance.

  • Mean age: 65 years; lesion volume: 21.5 cm³; NIHSS: 6.34; MMSE: 24.38; NCSE: 64.33; FIM: 94.05.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cognition is a significant predictor of functional recovery post-motor stroke.
    • Neuroscience nurses should incorporate cognitive assessment into acute care for motor stroke patients.
