Development of post-stroke rehabilitation according to the model of Early Home Supported Discharge
Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2012, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
At the beginning of the twenty first century there appeared a promising alternative to stationary rehabilitation for post-stroke patients. This is the organizational model for rehabilitation continuation after a stroke at home referred to as the Early Supported Discharge Home (EHSD). This model is an organizational solution allowing for a shortening of hospital stay and a reduction in the costs of treatment and rehabilitation. This comprises many elements of modern rehabilitation strategies. In 2009 we presented in Medical Rehabilitation ESD model assumptions. Since then there have been numerous reports that have continued to demonstrate that the EHSD model, despite shortening stays in the hospital, provides the patient with a real chance for successful rehabilitation. The biggest benefit of this type of practice is experienced by patients with an average level of disability. In this review article we present the latest reports on the further development of the concept of home-based post-stroke rehabilitation according to the EHSD model.
