Zusammenfassung:Aims:  This study aimed to determine the predictive factors for functional recovery and home discharge in stroke patients receiving in‐hospital rehabilitation. Methods:  This study included a consecutive series of 174 stroke patients (average age 73.0 ± 10.8) admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation ward at Azumino Red Cross Hospital in Japan after acute rehabilitation. The main outcome measures were functional recovery (functional independence measure [FIM] at discharge and Montebello rehabilitation factor score [MRFS]) and home discharge. Results:  Total FIM improved from 72.6 ± 27.6 to 87.7 ± 29.9 during the hospital stay (P
