Abstract

The recent study by Gardenghi et al. [1], published in the Brazilian Journal of Exercise Physiology, which deals with the association between stroke severity and functional dependence in hospitalized patients, has significant implications for physical therapy, especially neurofunctional physical therapy. This editorial discusses the main implications for rehabilitation, and how this study can help us to reflect and create critical clinical reasoning, enabling us to see beyond the horizons, with the central aim of enhancing physical therapy clinical practice and future scientific production...
