All patients of two groups were treated with routine medicine and rehabilitation treatment. Modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used to assess ADL when admission and 8 weeks later.ResultsIn all 67 stroke patients, the incidence of proprioception disturbance was 48.6%. After 8 weeks treatment, MBI scores of both groups improved significantly (P<0.05～0.01) and the average scores of group A was obviously lower than that of group B (P<0.05).ConclusionProprioception disturbance has bad affect on recovery of ADL after stroke obviously. Examination for proprioception disturbance should be performed in early stage after stroke and rehabilitation training should be carried on as soon as possible.
