There remains challenging for improving functional recovery of stroke patients in the acute post-stroke period among patients with acute stroke. Particularly the effectiveness of early rehabilitation combining with vibration training for patients with acute stroke is unknown.~Therefore, this study aims to exam the effectiveness of vibration training on muscle strength of lower limbs, functional recovery, and mood state among patients with acute stroke.~A randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Patients with acute ischemic stroke will be selected and randomly assigned to either control group (CG), exercise group (EG), wearable leg vibration training group (WG), or lower extremity vibration training group (LG). All groups will receive conventional treatment and regular rehabilitation. Neurologic disability (Modified Rankin Scale), muscle strength, functional status (Postural Assessment Scale and Barthel Scale), and mood state (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) will be collected to compare between groups and pre- and post-differences.
