Popis: BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke can impact a patient’s quality of life, but the extent is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between gait measures during inpatient rehabilitation with quality-of-life scores and function at 3 months in patients with stroke. SETTING: Single-Center inpatient rehabilitation facility. PARTICIPANTS: Eight five patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS: A 6-Minute Walk Test and a 10-Meter Walk Test were recorded on admission to rehabilitation. We analyzed the association between gait function at rehabilitation and 3-month quality of life and poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score >2) using multivariable logistic regression. MAIN OUTCOME: Measures 3-month health related quality of life. RESULTS: Eighty-five patients (mean age 68.3 14.9 years; 54.3% male) were enrolled. In adjusted analyses, an increase of 0.31 m/s (ie, 1 SD) on the 10-meter walk test was linked with a decreased odds of impaired lower extremity quality of life by 94% (odds ratio [OR] 0.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01–0.52; P =.01), and decreased odds of poor functional outcome by 98% (OR 0.02, 95% CI
