Effectiveness and Practicability of Rehabilitation Training for Hemiplegia / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness and practicability of training technique in hemiplegia.Methods313 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided randomly into the control group and training group, and treated with integrative training technique for hemiplegia impairment during 3 months. Locomotor recovery and the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) of patients in two groups were assessed before and after one, two and three months training respectively, using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the scale of impairment in community rehabilitation.ResultsAfter treatment, FMA, FIM and the scale of impairment in community rehabilitation of the patients in the training group improved significantly ( P<0.001), the effectiveness was better than that of the control group ( P<0.05～0.001).The scales of FMA and FIM were proportional to the scale of impairment in community rehabilitation.ConclusionThe training technique for hemiplegia has ideal rehabilitation effectiveness.

Effect of rehabilitation therapy on automatic nervous system of patients with stroke / 中国康复理论与实践

@#ObjectiveTo recover the effect of rehabilitation therapy on the automatic nervous system(ANS)of patients with stroke. MethodsThe multiple index measurement was applied to measure ANS after stroke in 31 patients. The therapy of the Bobath,Brunnstrom and Rood were used as the basic methods for 3 months.ResultsThe balance index of the automatic nerve after treatment by the rehabilitation therapy was higher markedly than before(P<0.01).There is a correlativity with recovery of the movement function. Conclusions The rehabilitation can improve the function of automatic nerve.

Study of rehabilitation treatment on old patients with stroke at restoration stage / 中国康复理论与实践

@# ObjectiveTo discuss the main point of rehabilitation treatment on old patients with stroke at restoration stage.Methods26 cases in hospital patients were performed a 8-week (5 days/week) rehabilitation program. Before and after rehabilitation treatment evaluations of locomotion function, muscle tone, range of movement of joints, ability of balance, ambulation and activities of daily living for affected limbs were performed and compared each other. Resultse grade of function and muscle tone of affected limbs had no distinct changes, while the locomotion function and ability of activities of daily living improved significantly(P<0.01). Conclusions Rehabilitation treatment for old patients with stroke at restoration stage is different from the acute stage. In the former case it is focused on facilitating the potential function, while in the latter it is emphasized on preventing and curing disuse syndrome and improving maladaptive behaviors.
