The improving effect of early rehabilitation on ADL in hemiplegics after stroke
Abstract：Objective To study the effect of early rehabilitation on motorfunction of upper and lower extremities and activities of daily living(ADL) in hemiplegics after stroke.Methods 96 patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group(48 cases) and control group(48 cases). Prospective method was used in this study. Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment and regularly rehabilitation training, while those in control group were given clinical treatment and unguided self-training, and the evaluation was done in pre-treatment and post-treatment(6～8 weeks) respectively. Motor function was assessed in Brunnstrom Grade, ADL assessed in Barthel Index. Results The motor scores (measured by Brunnstrom criteria) and ADL scores (measured by Barthel Index) in the two groups rised after 6～8 weeks treatment, but there was a significant difference between the two groups,i.e., the scores in the rehabilitation group were obviously superior to those in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Early rehabilitation training on hemiplegics after stroke may obviously improve motor function of the limbs and rise ADL scores.
