Abstract:
To analysis effects of rehabilitation and improvement of ADL in post-stroke patients, 114 cases were divided into two groups A and B. Rehabilitation treatment started for the patients in group A in two or three months after onset of the stroke, while group B in four or six months. The ADL of 114 cases were evaluated before rehabilitation and one month after rehabilitation. Treatment was siginificant in both groups (P<0.001). The improvement of ADL in group A was better than group B in grooming, feeding, dressing, toilet, utensil using, moving on the bed, locomotion and walking (P<0.05). Rehabilitation treatment is favorable for improving ADL ability of post-stroke patients. The earlier rehabilitation treatment starts, the better improvement of ADL is.
