text: Our group and others have used structured observation of patient activity over the active day (0800–1700 hours) and shown that patients managed in stroke units that practice early rehabilitation have a short time to first mobilization (median 18 hours poststroke; interquartile range, 7.3–43.0), spend only 30% of the day time in bed, 46% out of bed, and 20% standing and walking,20 which is different to patients managed in acute stroke units with a median inactive time of 65.5% (interquartile range, 6.3–87.8).21 Whether earlier activity can independently influence the incidence or severity of immobility-related or other complications is uncertain.
