Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the effect of rehabilitation treatment on diffuse axonal injury(DAI).Methods24 inpatients with DAI were performed a 3 month rehabilitation program.Before and after rehabilitation treatment,evaluation of locomotion function, walking ability,activities of daily living(ADL) and cognitive ability were performed and compared with each other.ResultsThe hand function showed no distinct change(P>0.05), while the locomotion function of upper limb was improved significantly(P<0.05), and that of lower limb was improved more significantly (P<0.01) as while as the walking ability.ADL and cognitive ability were improved very more significantly (P<0.001).ConclusionsIntegrative rehabilitation treatment cannot significantly improve the hand function of patients with DAI, but can significantly improve the locomotion function of upper and lower limb,ADL and cognitive ability.
