ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo observe the effect of motor relearning programme(MRP) training on lower Limbs function of stroke patients.MethodsSixty patients were randomly and equally allocated to training group (30 patients) and control group (30 patients). The control group was prescribed Bobath therapy while the training group received the MRP training. The lower limbs function was then assessed by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale.ResultsLower limbs function improved significantly in both groups while the training group was better than the control group after three months(P<0-05). ConclusionMRP training can promote the recovery of lower limbs function of patients with stroke.
ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo explore the effect of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) for motor function of upper extremity after stroke.Methods28 stroke patients with upper-limb hemiparesis were divided into two groups, 14 cases in each group. The observation group received constraint-induced movement therapy, treated with intensive shaping training with constraint of the unaffected arms. While the control group received routine rehabilitation with no constraint of the unaffected arms. The effect was evaluated by The Fugl-Meyer Asseseement(FMA).ResultsThe scores of FMA is higher after than before treatment in the observation group, (P<0-05). The flexibility of upper extremity of the observation group improved more significantly than that of the control group after treatment (P<0-05).ConclusionCIMT can enhance the effect of rehabilitation in the function of upper extremity and the activities of daily living of hemiplegia patients.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the effects of trunk and ankle dorsiflexion training on the motor function of the hemiplegics affected lower limb. Methods 36 cases with hemiplegia were divided into two groups: treatment group (n=22) and control group (n=14). The treatment group accepted trunk and ankle dorsiflexion training, while the control group not. They were assessed with Ueda Assessment 2 months after treatment. Results 22 cases (100%) in the treatment group were grade 8 or higher, while 7 cases (50%) in the control group. Conclusion Trunk and ankle dorsiflexion training are important for the recovery of motor function in the hemiplegics.
