Related Factors Influencing the Prognosis of Upper Limb Function of Stroke Patients with Left Side Hemiplegia / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the associated factors influencing the prognosis of upper limb function and ability of activities daily living(ADL)in stroke patients with left side hemiplegia.Methods 64 stroke patients with left side hemiplegia were treated regularly last for 1 month.At admission,the assessment procedure for cognitive function were performed with scales of Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE),Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment(LOTCA),Motor Impersistence(MI),Schenkenberg Line Bisection Test.Brunnstrom stage,Modified Barthel Index(MBI),Ueda,Bin Hemiplegic Finger Function Assessment Scale,Upper Limb Function Assessment Scale were graded for the upper limb function and ADL ability before and after training.The multinominal logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between those factors and the upper limb function and ADL ability.Results The extent of resumption of upper limb function of patients was positively correlated with the ability of formal operational thinking(P<0.01)in LOTCA score before training.However,the extent of resumption of hand was negatively correlated with MI score before training(P<0.01).The extent of resumption of the hand practicability was positively correlated with the ability of operational thinking and score of ADL in LOTCA before training(P<0.01).The extent of the resumption of ADL was positively correlated with the ability score of operational thinking in LOTCA and diseased region.It was negatively correlated with the score of Schenkenberg line bisection(P<0.01).Conclusion The ability of operational thinking in LOTCA before training and the scores of Schenkenberg line bisection,ADL and MI are helpful in prognosis for the upper limb function in stroke patients with left side hemiplegia.
