Background: Stroke rehabilitation demands an effective therapeutic approach to enhance functional recovery. This study aims to compare the outcomes of physical therapy in patients with acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke using the Motor Relearning Programme (MRP). Methodology: Based on stroke type, confirmed via CT thirty-eight participants were stratified into ischemic & hemorrhagic stroke group. Eligible participants were over 35 years old, had a Glasgow Coma Scale score above 5, and presented with hemiplegia. Exclusion criteria included trauma-induced hemorrhage, cerebellar or brainstem stroke, severe cognitive impairment, or pre-existing disabilities. The participants underwent a standardized four-week physiotherapy regimen based on the MRP, with assessments using the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) to evaluate the outcomes. Results: These results underscore the significant improvements in the functional outcomes observed in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients following physical therapy, with hemorrhagic stroke patients showing more substantial gains in both MAS and FIM scores. Conclusion: Our study contributes to a nuanced understanding of stroke rehabilitation, emphasizing that while both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients significantly benefit from structured physical therapy interventions like MRP, the specifics of their recovery processes vary.
