Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of early rehabilitation therapy in the treatment of patients with trihemiparalysis sign following acute stroke.Methods86 patients following acute stroke were divided into two groups, trihemiparalysis sign group(n=37) and non-trihemiparalysis sign group(with hemiplegia only, n=49). Standard rehabilitation therapy was used in both groups early. At admission and 3 months after treatment，both groups were assessed by using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NHISS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment of motor (FMA) and Balance (FMB), Modified Barthel Index(MBI), and World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF).ResultsAfter 3 months, patients in both groups scored significantly better in NHISS, FMA, FMB, MBI and PHYS, PSYCH, ENVIR of WHOQOL-BREF compared with that at admission. But the trihemiparalysis sign group improved less significantly in NHISS, FMA, FMB, MBI and PHYS, PSYCH of WHOQOL-BREF compared with non-trihemiparalysis sign group after treatment.ConclusionEarly rehabilitation therapy improved functional status and quality of life of acute stroke patients with trihemiparalysis sign, but showed not better than the patients with non-trihemiparalysis sign.
