Abstract: Two hundred and forty patients with post-stroke hemiplegia, discharged from October 2009 to January 2010, were randomly divided into two groups. One hundred twenty patients received home-based rehabilitation training, another 120 patients received conventional treatment and non-specific home rehabilitation. Brunnstrom rating and Barthel index ( BI) evaluation of motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) were performed in both groups before and after training program; Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) , Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) Assessment of anxiety and depression were also performed. Results showed that the lower limb function and ADL ability in home rehabilitation group were significantly increased, the anxiety and depression were significantly improved after home rehabilitation training ( P < 0. 005 ) ; but those indicators in control group were not significantly changed ( P > 0. 05 ).
