Study of the Influence on Hemipl egic Patients Treated with Rehabil itation Medicine Sooner or Later / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#hemiplegic patients following stroke were devided into two groups一一group A andgroup B for this study. Rehabilitation treatment started for the patients in group A in one month,yet forthose in group B in two or three months after onset of the stroke. Compared the conditions of the twogroups of patients before their rehabilitation treatment,there was no obvious difference(P<0.05)in thefour aspects of their motor ability(Ⅰ-activity in bed;Ⅱ-aclivity in wheel-chair;Ⅲ-in-ward;Ⅳ-outdoor activity).While the result of analysis on their post-treating shift of motor ability showed that thetrend,which the proportion of patients with ability Ⅰ andⅡ decreased but the proportion of patients withability Ⅲ and Ⅳ increased,was more significant in group A than in group B(P<0.05).Thereby it indicatesthat the early starting of rehabilitation treatment is favourable for improving motor ability of hemiplegic pa-tients following stroke.
