Influence of Age on Stroke Outcome:Copenhagen Stroke Study
Stroke 25:808-813, Nakayama,H.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Age independently influences stroke outcome selectively in ADL-related aspects(BI)but not in neurological aspects(SSS),suggesting a poorer compensatory ability in elderly stroke patients.Therefore,rehabilitation of elderly stroke patients should be focused more on ADL and compensation rather than on the recovery of neurological status,and age itself should not be a selection criterion for rehabilitation.
