Abstract
We observed improved FIM scores in 13 of 16 patients (81%) ; 7 patients (44%) acquired independent living ability (KPS 70) and 6 (37%) showed up to KPS score 60 (occasional assistance required from family). The time to maximal improvement after admission was within 20-50 days in these 13 patients and within 30 days (nearly 4 weeks) in 10 patients (77%). Short-term intensive rehabilitation (4-6 weeks) is effective in patients with GBM during the TMZ withdrawal phase after postoperative radiotherapy.
