Wow, I'm surprised! This is great, thanks for posting.

"What's more, participants who started their rehabilitation programs later, about six months after their strokes, saw just as much improvement as those who began rehab just eight weeks after the event." <---Very interesting! I've always learned the sooner the better.

The delayed start group doing just as well was likely a surprise. It will be interesting to see if it's replicated.
