Abstract | Physical activity supports recovery after a stroke, yet 40% of survivors remain inactive after a year. Understanding activity patterns is key to sustaining rehabilitation benefits. Using purposive sampling, a descriptive study assessed neurological deficits and functional recovery among 60 stroke patients in a tertiary care hospital. Tools included socio-demographic data, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, and the Modified Barthel Index. Results showed 23.33% had minor strokes, 70.00% had moderate, and 6.67% had moderate-to-severe strokes. Functional recovery scores revealed 56.67% with moderate dependency, 20.00% with mild dependency, and 23.33% with minimal dependency. A moderate positive correlation was found between neurological deficit and functional recovery scores. Early intervention and continuous monitoring are crucial to improving outcomes for stroke survivors. |
