This data base introduce the differences in the clinical and demographic characteristics of the participants with post stroke between two groups.There is three periods of tests: pre, post and follow up. The Outcome Measures were: 1) the over-ground 10-meter walking test (10 mW m/s); 2) the number of steps completed by the participants during the 10-meter walk (10 mW-Steps); 3) Timed Up and Go (TUG); 4) The Functional Reach Test (FRT); 5. The Lateral Reach Test – The participant is asked to reach as far as possible to the right (LRT-R) and to the left (LRT-L) sides; 6) Activity-specific Balance Confidence (ABC); 7) The Berg Balance Scale (BBS).

Raw data of patient characteristics from chart review of stroke alerts from 1/1/2016-1/31/2016 with identifying information redacted due to HIPAA purposes.

The data of stroke intervention analysed and used in the manuscript.

Neurological deficits of each rat were determined postural reflex, body sway, balance beam, and grip strength test and the degree of cerebral tissue injury was detected by TTC. Related protein expression were detected by Western blot.

Dizziness, disequilibrium, a floating sensation, imbalance and vertigo are relatively common complaints in the emergency department. Although the most common posterior circulation symptom is dizziness, few stroke scales specialize in posterior circulation strokes. Furthermore, no systematic studies have investigated the misdiagnosis of posterior circulation infarctions. Here, we investigated the accuracy of the diagnosis of posterior circulation infarctions with dizziness in the emergency department and found that a posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territory infarction was not properly diagnosed in the emergency department, particularly in young subjects. Based on the results, we developed and validated a stroke recognition tool called the DEFENSIVE (DisEquilibrium, Floating sEnsation, Non-Specific dizziness, Imbalance and VErtigo) stroke scale to improve the diagnostic accuracy of stroke in subjects presenting to the emergency department with acute dizziness. As a result, no subject with ischemic stroke was overlooked in the emergency department after the introduction of the DEFENSIVE stroke scale. In addition, our approach was effective for subjects with false-negativity in the initial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) study. In summary, the DEFENSIVE stroke scale has good diagnostic accuracy and is simple to use in an emergency setting.
