Effect of Intensive Training and on Motor Function of Cerebral Infarction Patients / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the effects of intensive training and on the activity of daily living (ADL) and motor function in cerebral infarction patients. Methods 52 cerebral infarction patients with early rehabilitation were divided into an experiment group (n=26) and a control group (n=26). All patients were treated with the conventional training. Meanwhile, the patients in the experimental group were also treated with intensive training. The Modified Barthels Index (MBI) and brief-style Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) were used to evaluate the ADL and motor function before and 1 month after treatment. Results The scores of MBI and FMA were significantly different between the two groups 1 month after treatment (P＜0.05). Conclusion Intensive training can improve the ADL and motor function more than conventional training in cerebral infarction patients.
