BACKGROUND- Stroke is consider as a cerebrovascular accident (CNS) which demand immediate rush to the hospital and may lead to long hospital stay depending on severity of stroke and patient recovery. Ischemic and hemorrhagic are two types of stroke which have different mechanism, clinical manifestation and functional outcomes. Because of its frequency, mortality and sequalae of disorder it is a major challenge in the field of medicine. PURPOSE-The aim of this study is to distinguish between the functional outcomes of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in acute stage. METHOD – In this study 40 subjects of stroke in acute stage was included, 20 ischemic stroke and 20 hemorrhagic stroke and allocated as Group 1(ischemic group) and Group 2 (hemorrhagic group). Functional outcomes was evaluated on the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) and Functional Independence Measures (FIM). RESULT - Scores of patients of both groups improved on the Functional Independence Measure with growing time. The functional level was less for hemorrhagic group at the time of admission (mean of FIM=42.1, for ischemic mean =57.5),by the end of fourth week patients of hemorrhagic group improved more functionally than ischemic group (m=104.3,for ischemic m=98)The FIM Gain was more in group II in comparison with group I . On MAS by end of fourth week hemorrhagic group improved more than ischemic group (m=45.9, for ischemic m=41). CONCLUSION – Its stated through the result of this study, that the hemorrhagic group improved better than the ischemic group. The hemorrhagic group showed greater gains on MAS as well as Functional Independence Measure, although both groups showed consistent improvement.
