Title: Effects of early rehabilitation training on balance function and activities of daily living in patients with hemiplegia after stroke
Abstract: Objective:To study the effect of early rehabilitation on balace function and activities of daily living(ADL) in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.Method:80 patients were randomly divided into two groups, the rehabilitation group(40 cases) and the control group(40 cases). Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment and regularly physical therapy, while those in control group were given clinical treament and unguided self-training, and the evaluation was done in pre-treatment and 3 months and 6 months after stroke. Balance function was assessed with Fugl-Meyer and ADL was assessed with Modified Barthel Index(MBI).Result:The balace function scores and MBI scores in each groups and between two groups rised had a significant difference(P0.05), the process of scores in the rehabilitation group were obviously superior to that in the control group(P0.001).The balance function is positive correlation to ADL(r=0.791).Conclusion:Early rehabilitation training on the patients with hemiplegia after stroke may obviously improve balance function and ADL.
