Center, neurosurgery ward, and neurology ward, and conducting early rehabilitation from the acute phase. Recently, in A Very Early Rehabilitation Trial for acute stroke, the placement of full-time physiotherapists facilitated easier cooperation between doctors and nurses in situations where the condition of acute patients changed significantly; the greatest advantage of this is that early rehabilitation can be performed frequently, thereby improving the prognosis of patients with stroke [9]. Moreover, the placement of a dedicated rehabilitation therapist in the ward increased the patients' training time, shortened the hospitalization of patients, and accelerated activities of daily living (ADL) acquisition by cooperation with nurses [10]. Resident rehabilitation staff has been assigned to the neurosurgery and neurology wards of our hospital, which makes it easier to collaborate with the Department of Rehabilitation Services. Thus, we have been providing interventions from the viewpoint of rehabilitation. However, it has not yet been clarified how the placement of resident rehabilitation staff in the general ward affects the early rehabilitation of patients and strengthens the collaboration between nurses and the rehabilitation staff. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the effect of the placement of resident rehabilitation staff on the medical personnel and patients. In this study, "pre-resident rehabilitation staffing" is defined as the absence of resident rehabilitation staff in the general neurosurgery unit; therefore, the therapists visited the neurosurgery ward from the general rehabilitation center only when the physicians required an intervention for patients with stroke.
