NIHS scale is the largest worldwide tool used by doctors in order to objectively quantify the severity of neurological impairment in acute stroke, in the initial stage as well as in the subsequent stages. The aim of this paper is to present the results of an observational, prospective, analytical study on a number of 85 patients with acute ischemic stroke, hospitalized within two months in the Neurology Clinic of Sibiu. NIHS scale has been evaluated at all patients on the first day of the admission and at the discharge date. The objective was to determine the pattern of neurological damage in patients and to achieve correlations between the extent of neurological damage and their early recovery potential consistent with TOAST subtypes of stroke. Conclusions: The pattern of neurological impairment is specific for each subtype of ischemic stroke. Early recovery of motor deficits is subtype dependent. Recovery of cognitive deficits and language is not subtype dependent. The degree of early recovery was 45,12% (average 9.9 days stay in hospital care) with a maximum of 51.54% for UE stroke subtype and a minimum of 38.98% for LAA stroke subtype.
