Participants in the intervention group commenced early mobilization (EM) within 24-48 hours after stroke onset. The structured program included progressive bed mobility, sitting, standing, and ambulation activities, with intensity and duration adjusted according to each patient's tolerance and neurological stability. Each session lasted approximately 30 minutes, performed once or twice daily, five days per week, and continued until hospital discharge. All sessions were conducted under the supervision of trained rehabilitation nurses and physiotherapists, with progression allowed only when vital signs were stable and no neurological deterioration was observed.

Participants will receive routine rehabilitation once daily, consisting of 20 minutes of bed exercises, including both active and passive joint movements.

Patients will receive early mobilization measures within 24 to 48 hours after the onset of stroke.

Functional status was assessed by Barthel Activity Daily Index (BI) and modified Rankin scale (mRS) were applied to assess activities of daily life with stroke patients. The BI is consisting of 10 common activities of daily living activities. Eight of the ten items represent activities related to personal care; the remaining 2 are related to mobility. A total score out of 100; the higher the score, the greater the degree of functional independence. The mRS scale runs from 0-6, the score of 0 is no disability, 5 is disability requiring constant care for all needs, and 6 is death.

Psychological distress was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scale. It consists of 14 items, which can be divided into two subscales of seven items each: the anxiety subscale (HADS-A) and the depression subscale (HADS-D). The total HADS score was ranged from 0 to 21. A score greater than or equal to 11 indicates that the patient has anxiety or depression.

Quality of life was assessed using the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) Version 3.0, which contains 59 items covering eight domains, including strength, memory and thinking, emotion, communication, activities of daily living/instrumental activities of daily living (ADL/IADL), mobility, hand function, and participation, plus one recovery item. Each domain is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.
