Scores are presented as mean ± SD, median (minimum to maximum). *One unit is defined as 20 minutes of rehabilitation. χ2 tests were used to compare differences between groups for gender, laterality of the lesion, primary disease, discharge destination, and medication information. Independent t-tests were used to compare differences between groups for age, illness duration, length of stay, total units of therapy, and units of therapy per day. BRS was compared between groups with the Mann-Whitney U test. BRS: Brunnstrom Recovery Stage; CH: cerebral hemorrhage; CI: cerebral infarction; GDS: Geriatric Depression Scale Short Version; PSD: post-stroke depression; SAH: subarachnoid hemorrhage; SD: standard deviation
