Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of early rehabilitation on patients with closed traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods80 TBI patients were divided into rehabilitation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine surgical and other treatments. The rehabilitation group was treated with limb exercise and daily living training, besides treatments mentioned above. The scores of degrees of neural damage, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), modified Barthel index (MBI) and disability rating scale, and complications within 3 months of two groups were compared.ResultsThe scores of degree of neural damage, FMA, MBI and disability rating scale, and rate of complication of the rehabilitation group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation can improve brain function and reduce complication incidence of TBI patients.
