Objective: This study describes the case of a patient with a left basal ganglia (BG) infarct who had made almost a complete recovery upon discharge from the hospital in 2014 but who was re-admitted after 31 months with a worsened hemiplegic gait. Methods: The patient had undergone no rehabilitation treatment in the 31 months since his discharge. When the patient was re-admitted to our hospital in 2017, stance and gait data were collected on the patient using a treadmill gait analysis system. In addition, the patient underwent a manual muscle test (MMT) evaluation, and his Motricity index (MI) and modified Barthel index (MBI) scores were recorded. After rehabilitation for one month, the patient was reassessed, and the results were compared to those on the day of re-admission and those recorded in 2014. Results: Compared to the 2014 evaluation results, the patient’s stance parameters and gait parameters had worsened at re-admission. However, there was no significant change in the patient’s MMT grade or MI and MBI scores in comparison to the results of the 2014 evaluation. After one month of rehabilitation, the patient was re-evaluated again, but there was no significant change in comparison to the evaluation results at re-admission. Conclusion: Some of the stroke patients who have passed six months since the onset of their stroke may require ongoing rehabilitation although the functions of them is almost recovered. Because there is a possibility that recovered functions get worse again without any rehabilitation for a long time. And once the recovered functions get worse, re-recovery of them is not easy.
