55 A MOBILITY PROFILE OF STROKE PATIENTS ADMITTED TO A LEVEL 4 ACUTE HOSPITAL OVER A 6-MONTH PERIOD

Abstract Background In order to best direct physiotherapy stroke resources and further service development it is important characterise the mobility of patients presenting an acute hospital. Methods A previous audit completed in 2018 same organisation established that by using Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Mobility for Acute Stroke (MSAS) as admission outcome measures, a baseline profile could be while limiting floor ceiling effects. retrospective was all referred admitted with 6 month period.
