Effect of Community-based Rehabilitation Simple Technique on Motor Function and Balance Function of Stroke / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@# ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of community-based rehabilitation simple technique on motor function, balance function of stroke.Methods48 stroke patients from Guangwai Hospital in Beijing were divided into two groups: test group(n=26) and control group(n=22). The test group received community-based rehabilitation simple technique combining with routine therapy, while the control group only received routine therapy. All patients were assessed with the scale of motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment, FMA) and Fugl-Meyer Balance Assessment (FMA-B) before, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment respectively.ResultsThere were no significant difference between two groups in FMA and FMA-B (P>0-05) before and 1 month after treatment. The scores of FMA and FMA-B improved significantly (P<0-05) 3 months after treatment.ConclusionCommunity-based rehabilitation simple technique is effective to improve motor function and balance function of stroke patients.
