Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of community rehabilitation on the motor function and activities of daily living(ADL)of stroke patients.Methods 155 stroke patients were randomly divided into the exercises group(n=76)and control group(n=79)and evaluated with simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA),Modified Barthel Index(MBI)and Functional Comprehensive Assessment(FCA)before treatment and 1 and 3 months after treatment.Results The evaluations of FMA,MBI and FCA were not different between two groups before treatment.One month later,the scores of MBI and FCA of the exercises group improved significantly(P<0.01),but simple FMA not improved even to 3 months after treatment(P>0.05).In the control group,the simple FMA score not improved(P>0.05),the scores of MBI and FCA had a declined tendency with disease course prolong.Conclusion The effect of community rehabilitation on the motor function of stroke patients during convalescence is not significant,but community rehabilitation may improve ADL and the quality of life.
