Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the effect of multidisciplinary rehabilitation on prognosis of patients with stroke hemiplegia.Methods100 patients with stroke hemiplegia were divided into the rehabilitation group and control group with 50 cases in each group. The patients of the rehabilitation group were treated not only with routine medication,but also with rehabilitation therapy, which included nerve-muscle promoting technology, functional electric stimulation and Channel Balance-Inducing instrument therapy, and etc, over six mouths. The cases of the control group were treated only with routine medication. The motor function of patients was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), and activities of daily living (ADL) was assessed with Barthel Index (BI) before and after treatment.ResultsThe FMA and BI scores of the patients in the rehabilitation group increased obviously, having a significantly difference with that of the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionThe prognosis of patients with stroke hemiplegia treated with multidisciplinary rehabilitation is superior to that with simple medication.
