Title: The study on the effects of community based motor function rehabilitation simple technique in patients after stroke
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the effects of community based motor function rehabilitation simple technique on motor function and activities of daily living(ADL) in 48 stroke patients. Method: Forty-eight stroke patients were selected from Guangwai Hospital in Beijing. They were randomly divided into two groups: test group and control group, composed of 26 and 22 cases respectively. Those in test group received group training with self-designed community based motor function rehabilitation simple technique combining with routine therapy, while those in control group only received routine therapy. All patients were assessed with the scale of motor functional(Fugl-Meyer) and ADL(Barthel index) at the enrollment time, the end of 1st month, 3rd month after enrollment, respectively. Result: At the entering time and the end of 1st month there were no significant difference between two groups in Fugl-Meyer assessment and Barthel index scores(P0.05). At the end of 3rd month, the scores of Fugl-Meyer and Barthel index improved significantly(P0.05). Conclusion: Community based motor function rehabilitation simple technique is effective to improve motor function and ADL of stroke patients.
