Abstract:
Objective:To explore any effect of on the limb and cardiopulmonary functioning of stroke survivors of combining new Bobath technique with cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.Methods:A total of 160 stroke survivors with limb disorders were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 80. Both groups were given routine rehabilitation and the new version of Bobath training, but the observation group was additionally provided with 12 weeks of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Before and after the treatment the limb functioning of both groups was evaluated along with their ability in the activities of daily living and the recovery of damaged nerve function, using the simplified Fugl-Meyer (FMA) motor function scoring, the modified Barthel index (MBI) and the Chinese stroke scale (CSS). Peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak), peak metabolic equivalent (METpeak), peak heart rate (HRpeak) and anaerobic thresholds (ATs) were documented. Results:After the treatment the average FMA, MBI and CSS scores and cardiopulmonary indexes had improved significantly in both groups. All were then significantly better in the observation group than in the control group.Conclusions:Combining the new Bobath technique with cardiopulmonary rehabilitation can significantly improve the limb and cardiopulmonary functioning of stroke survivors, as well as their skill in the activities of daily living and the recovery of the damaged nerve functionality. This combination is therefore worthy of clinical promotion and application.
