  1. FAC Functional Ambulation Categories, VC Median vital capacity in Cubic centimeter (ccm), t0- start of inpatient rehabilitation, t1- end of inpatient rehabilitation, p value- derived from paired Wilcoxon test- *p < 0.05, STI ischemic stroke, STH hemorrhagic stroke, CIPM Critical Illness Polyneuropathy or –Myopathy, NWA patients who did not reach walking ability neither at the beginning nor at the end of rehabilitation- this subgroup n = 89 is composed as follows 45(STI) + 24(STH) + 10(CIPM) + 10(other neurological diagnosis)
