Functional recovery in survivors of severe stroke dataset

The evidence on functional gains following rehabilitation in severe stroke survivors is unclear due to slow recovery and a perceived reduced potential to improve; this impacts on the provision of rehabilitation. There is limited research providing objective, temporal data on functional recovery after severe strokes. Hence, cohort study was conducted( as a part of a doctoral study) using prospective observational design where changes in functional abilities were investigated in a group of severe stroke survivors (NIHSS score &gt;10, MRS &gt;4 at admission).Patient outcomes over the first six months post-stroke were longitudinally measured using standardized, validated tools and statistically analysed.<br>This data set presents the anonymous raw data collected during the study. Ethical approval was obtained from the East Central Research Ethics Committee (Reference No: 16/EE/0072) prior to the commencement of the study.<br>Participants gave their consent to archive and publish anonymised data. <br>
