This study aim to retrospectively investigate the effects of the magnesium, vitamin D, and uric acid serum markers on motor recovery and ambulation in post-stroke patients.
Stroke is the sudden loss of neurological function associated with a reduction or cessation of blood flow in the brain, resulting from the blockage or rupture of cerebral vessels. Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Regaining motor recovery and ambulation skills in patients is one of the main goals of rehabilitation. It is critical for patients to improve their quality of life and regain their independence. Serum biochemical markers can be used to predict post-stroke recovery. Serum magnesium, vitamin D, and uric acid are biochemical markers that may play a role in the recovery process of stroke patients. This study aim to retrospectively investigate the effects of the magnesium, vitamin D, and uric acid serum markers on motor recovery and ambulation in post-stroke patients.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
257
Serum magnesium, uric acid, and vitamin D levels, as well as motor recovery and ambulation levels, measured during the patients' rehabilitation stay will be obtained from past medical records.

Serum magnesium levels
Serum magnesium levels measured before the patients' rehabilitation will be obtained from past medical records.
Time frame: Before treatment
Serum uric acid levels
Serum uric acid levels measured before the patients' rehabilitation will be obtained from past medical records.

Serum vitamin D levels measured before the patients' rehabilitation will be obtained from past medical records.
Time frame: Before treatment
Brunnstrom Motor Recovery Stage
Brunnstrom stages is a scale used to assess motor recovery after a stroke, which is expressed using values between 1 and 6. The higher the value on this scale, the higher would be the recovery. Brunnstrom Motor Recovery Stages measured before the patients' rehabilitation will be obtained from past medical records.
Time frame: Before treatment
Functional Ambulation Classification
Functional Ambulation Classification is a 6-point functional walking test that evaluates ambulation ability and determines the amount of human support required by patients while walking, regardless of whether they use a personal assistive device. A score of 0 indicates that the patient has a dysfunctional ambulation A score of 5 denotes independent ambulation on any surface. Functional Ambulation Classification Stages measured before the patients' rehabilitation will be obtained from past medical records.
Time frame: Before treatment
