ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of bilateral movement training on upper extremities dysfunction in stroke patients in conva-lescent phase. Methods 52 patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into treatment group (n=26) and control group (n=26). The treat-ment group accepted bilateral upper extremities movement training, and the control group accepted routine neurodevelopment training main-ly with affected upper extremities, for 6 weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment upper-extremity section (FMA-UE) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment. Results The FMA-UE and MBI scores improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.01), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Bilateral movement training may im-prove upper extremity function and activities of daily living more effectively for stroke patients in convalescent phase.
