Summary

Post-Acute Care(PAC) had been inaugurated in Taiwan for almost four years and current essays revealed positive effects upon general improvements in stroke patient after PAC training. During acute phase, a stroke patient would admit to internal medicine or surgical ward and transferred to rehabilitative ward for more intensive therapeutic programs, restoring muscle power and promoting activity of daily life(ADL) ability. Under relative stable condition, the patient would transfer to PAC institution or hospitals afterwards for continuing rehabilitative program if the patient is acknowledged to have rehabilitative potentials. However, there's still lacking of investigation upon whether the length of stay in PAC correlates to general improvements. Thus, stroke patients' functional ability, such as activities of daily living (ADL) function, swallowing ability and so on, as well as their corresponding scales were assessed on the first and last day during PAC hospitalization. Statistical analysis was conducted via SPSS ver21.0 to compare the relationship of improvements in functional ability and the length of stay in PAC. We're looking forward to the final results!
