Researchers are studying how walking abilities recover over time during the subacute phase after a stroke. The study focuses on patients hospitalized in medical and neurological rehabilitation units and aims to observe changes in walking and balance over a six-month period following the stroke. This observational study tracks the natural progress of gait recovery rather than testing a specific treatment. Participants will undergo gait rehabilitation assessments starting when they enter the neurological center. These evaluations will continue at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after the stroke, as well as at the time of hospital discharge. The study monitors patients' walking and balance abilities as they recover in the rehabilitation setting. During the study, participants will have their walking function measured using the Functional Ambulation Classification scale within 72 hours of admission, then again at 1, 3, and 6 months, and at discharge. The study involves regular assessments of gait and balance to understand recovery patterns. Participants are followed for up to six months after their stroke to track improvements and outcomes.
