Objective. To evaluate the correlation between the severity of neurological déficit with balance and functional mobility in individuals in the acute phase of Ischemic Stroke (IS) who underwent thrombolytic therapy. Method. A longitudinal study was conducted in a stroke unit, between 2018 and 2020, including patients with IS thrombolyzed, able to understand verbal commands and hemodynamically stable. Those who presented deterioration whithin the first hour of admission, were transfered to the Intensive Care Unit, or that presented other severe or unstable illness were excluded. The patients were evaluated in admission and until the seventh day of hospitalization with the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Berg’s Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG). Spearman's correlation test was used to assess the association between variables. Results. The NIHSS correlated with BBS at admission (r=-0.651, p<0.001) and at hospital discharge (r=-0.535, p<0.001). There was no association between NIHSS and TUG. Conclusion. There was a moderate negative correlation between the severity of the neurological deficit and the balance of thrombolyzed individuals in the acute phase of IS.
