The aim of this study is to examine effect of the level of participation in the physiotherapy program on the level of mobility and clinical outcomes in individuals with acute stroke. Methods: 74 patients were included who acute stroke diagnoses were followed neurology department in one university hospital in this study. Demographic characteristics of patients’ as age, gender, education were recorded in the study. Patients’ mobility levels with Physiotherapy Functional Mobility Profi le (PFMP), clinic outcomes with Clinical Outcome Variables Scale (COVS) were evaluated before rehabilitation program and at the time of discharge from the clinic, the level of participation in the physiotherapy program was evaluated with the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale (PRPS) after each treatment session. Results: Participiants’ 48 individuals were female, 26 male, mean ages of participiants was 68.84±12.35 years old, mean duration of hospital stay was 7.23±4.36 days. It was found PFMP score 41.18±18.00 in fi rst measurement, 46.72±16.27 points in last measurement, difference between two measurements 5.54±8.78 points, COVS score 57.36±25.08 in fi rst measurement, 64.75±20.92 points in last measurement, difference between two measurements 7.39±12.18 points, mean score of PRPS 4.60±1.06 points. There is a positive signifi cance relationship between fi rst and last measurement points of PFMP’ and COVS’ points and mean points of PRPS (p<0.01). There was no statistically signifi cant relationship between PRPS and PFMP and COVS difference scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that the level of participation in the physiotherapy program in acute stroke patients affects the level of functional mobility and clinical outcomes.
