Rehabilitation therapy is believed to be useful during the first few months after stroke when recovery usually takes place. However, evidence exists that this may not be the rule for all stroke victims. Therefore, we investigated, in a selected group of poststroke patients, the profile of recovery in response to long-term rehabilitation therapy.
