Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of activities of daily living (ADL) training on hemiplegia after stroke. Methods 50 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into treatment group (n=27), who received ADL training and physical therapy, and control group (n= 23), who only received physical therapy. They were evaluated with modified Barthel index (MBI) and the Brunnstrom classification. Results After 6 months of treatment, the score of MBI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in Brunnstrom stage (P>0.05). Conclusion ADL training can improve the recovery of ADL in hemiplegics after stroke.。
