Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study will to test the hypothesis that combining early out-of-bed mobilization within 72 hours of stroke onset with treated by intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) or endovascular thrombectomy (ET) would result in a greater benefit than standard early rehabilitation within 72 hours of stroke onset with treated by IV-rtPA or ET.
Detailed Description:
The treatments for acute ischemic stroke have evolved rapidly in recent years including intravenous (IV) thrombolysis using recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) and endovascular thrombectomy (ET). Those new interventions constitute a landmark change in stroke treatment. Since early mobilizing patients after stroke as early as possible might prevent immobility-related complications and promote brain recovery, previous studies supported that early mobilization should commence at some point within 72 hours of stroke. However, increased risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage or ischemia-reperfusion injury underlies concerns early mobilization of patients treated with rtPA or ET. Bedside, a limited amount of research has investigated what specific timing for starting early mobilization after intravenous IV rtPA or ET would optimize recovery potential during the acute period after cerebral infarction. Further research is needed to understand whether the outcomes resulting from starting mobilization within 72 hours of onset for a stroke treated with rtPA or ET is better than that of starting mobilization later. Therefore, the purpose of the study will to test the hypothesis that combining early out-of-bed mobilization within 72 hours of stroke onset with treated by IV rtPA or ET would result in a greater benefit than standard early rehabilitation within 72 hours of stroke onset with treated by IV rtPA or ET.
