Abstract:
Objective To investigate the factors related to outcome (recovery of motor, activities of daily living, and balance) of stroke patients. Methods 67 stroke patients with hemiplegia were evaluated with the Ueda Classfication of upper and lower limbs function, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Berg balance scale (BBS) before and after treatment. The scores of all the assessment were as the dependent variable respectively, and regression analyzed with the factors possiblely related to the outcome. Results The positive factors for lower limbs function included rehabilitation intervention, time of rehabilitation, and hypercholesterolemia; while the negative factors were body mass index (BMI), and damage of superficial sensibility. The positive factors for upper limbs function were rehabilitation intervention and time of rehabilitation; while the negative factors were BMI, dysphagia, damage of superficial sensibility, and frequency of attack. The positive factors for hand function were rehabilitation interventions and interval from diagnosis to rehabilitation, while the negative factors were the muscle tension, incontinence, and frequency of attack. The positive factors for FIM were the rehabilitation intervention, while the negative factors were BMI, incontinence, hypercholesterolemia, gender and residence status. The positive factors for BBS were the rehabilitation intervention, while the negative factors were BMI, frequency of attack, and hyperglycemia. Conclusion Rehabilitation promotes the recovery of stroke patients, but the BMI may block it.
