Abstract:
Increased rehabilitation intensity, the number of minutes of therapy per day, is associated with improved outcomes. However, it is unclear whether males and females receive the same inpatient stroke rehabilitation intensity. A sub-analysis of a retrospective population-based cohort study of adults (5877 females, 6893 males) with stroke discharged to inpatient rehabilitation between 2017 and 2021 was conducted. The mean rehabilitation intensity was 75.86 min/day for males and 73.33 min/day for females (p < .0001). Males <80 years of age were more likely to receive higher rehabilitation intensity than females. Future research should explore what factors account for this sex difference.
