Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of Bobath approach applied in early stage on hemiplegia after cerebral infarction. Methods 174 cases of cerebral infarction were treated with Bobath approach and assessed using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and the patients who accepted rehabilitation within or over a month after stroke were compared. Results After treatment the scores of FMA and MBI were improved more in the patients within a month than those over a month(both P<0.01). Conclusion The Bobath approach is effective on the locomotor function and the activity of daily living in patients with cerebral infarction. The earlier it starts, the better the effect should be.
