Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of health education on motor function in hemiplegia after stroke. Methods 105 stroke patients were divided into treatment group （53 cases）and control group（52 cases）. The patients in both groups received the similar rehabilitation and medicines, and the patients in the treatment group also accepted the health education. They were assessed with the Fugl-Meyer assessment （FMA） and modified Barthel index （MBI）. Results The scores of FMA and MBI in the both groups were improved after treatment（P<0.001）, and the result of the treatment group was better than that of the control group （P<0.05）. Conclusion Health education can improve the recovery of motor function and activity of daily living in patients with hemiplegia by knowing more about the disease.
