RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of comprehensive rehabilitation nursing intervention on hemiplegia patients in the sequela stage of stroke. METHODS: Patients with knee reflex after stroke were divided into the treatment group and the control group. Patients in the control group received Activities of Daily Living (ADL) training. Patients in the treatment group received comprehensive rehabilitation training in addition to the ADL training of the control group, including joint flexion and extension training, active resistance training, low-frequency electrotherapy, and standing training. The knee reflex angle and ankle dorsiflexion angle of patients in both groups were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. Also, the Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) scale, the modified Ashworth scale, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), and Barthel index (lower limb) rating scale of patients in both groups were compared. RESULTS: It was found that there was significant difference between the two groups in the changes of knee and ankle joint angles after treatment (P < 0.05). In the Ashworth and MMT (Manual Muscle Testing) grading analysis of patients, it was found that the Ashworth grading of quadriceps femoris and triceps leg improved significantly before and after treatment (P < 0.01). There was significant difference in MMT grade between the two groups after treatment of quadriceps and hamstring muscles (P < 0.05). There was significant difference in satisfaction degree of pain control or relief methods (P < 0.05). In the analysis of Fugl-Meyer and Barthel integral effects of lower limbs for the patients with knee reflex before and after treatment, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was found in the Fugl-Meyer motor function and Barthel index scores of the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, the results suggested that comprehensive rehabilitation nursing could promote the treatment of sequelae of hemiplegia. Although there were some shortcomings in the experimental process, it still provided a reliable basis for the clinical treatment of sequelae of stroke.
