Profiling Daily Life Performance Recovery in the Early Subacute Phase After Stroke Using a Graphical Modeling Approach.

ABSTRACT: Background Laboratory-based assessments have shown that stroke recovery is heterogeneous between patients and affected domains such as motor and language function. However, laboratory-based assessments are not ecologically valid and do not necessarily reflect patients' daily life performance. Therefore, we aimed to give an innovative view on stroke recovery by profiling daily life performance recovery across domains in patients with early subacute stroke and determine their interrelatedness, taking stroke localization into account. Methods and Results Daily life performance was observed at neurorehabilitation admission and weekly thereafter until discharge, using a scale containing 7 daily life domains. Graphical modeling was applied to investigate the conditional independence between reco
