To determine the biopsychosocial correlates of general, physical, and mental fatigue in patients with postpoliomyelitis syndrome (PPS) by assessing the additional contribution of potentially modifiable factors after accounting for important nonmodifiable disease-related factors. It was hypothesized that disease-related, behavioral, and psychosocial factors would contribute in different ways to general, physical, and mental fatigue in PPS and that a portion of fatigue would be determined by potentially modifiable factors. ⋯ PPS fatigue is multidimensional. Different types of fatigue are determined by different variables. Potentially modifiable factors account for a portion of fatigue in PPS.

To compare the functional outcome of stroke patients with cerebral infarction (CI) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after rehabilitation. ⋯ Although patients with ICH had a greater level of disability on admission to rehabilitation, they achieved significantly greater gains in function than patients with CI after rehabilitation. This was found regardless of the severity of disability on admission.
