All patients received routine rehabilitation training, simultaneously took 20 mg of fluoxetine hydrochloride dispersible tablets per day. Based on above, the treatment group was given physiological rehabilitation treatment with rational-emotive therapy in early stage, 30 min each time, continuously 6 weeks. The two groups were assessed with Zung Self-rating Depression Scale and Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale before and after treatment.Results Afer treatment, the scoers of Zung Self-rating Depression Scale and Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion The rational-emotive therapy might improve the depression condition of post-stroke, enhance patients' motor function.

Objective To observe the iffectiveness of comprehensive rehabilitationinterventions on stroke patients with unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Methods A total of 245 cases if strijd were examined to diagnose USN. Of the 245 patients,86 cases were diagnosed as being with USN, and divided into a control group(n=43 cases) and a treatment group (n=43 cases) randomly. The control group was treated with Bobath and Rood techniques in addition to routine clinical medical interventions, while the treatment group was treated with a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol for USN in addition to the same interventions for the control group. Both groups were assessed with regard to motor, balance function, walking performance, and USN severity as well as the activities of daily living (ADL) performance. Results After 8 weeks of treatment,both groups improved, but there showed a significantly statistical difference between the 2 groups in terms of Fugl-Meyer motor function scores (P＜0.01), balance function scores (P＜0.01) Holden walding function classifications (P＜0.01), Barthel index(P＜0.001) and USN severity scores(P＜0.01). Conclusion Comprehensive USN rehabilitation intervention could improve motor, balance, walking functions and ADL performance and alleviate the USN severity in stroke patients with USN.

Objective To explore the effects of action observation therapy on upper-extremity motor function after ischemic stroke and on the motor cortex using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).Methods Forty patients with ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to an observational group (n =20) or a control group (n =20).Both groups received conventional rehabilitation,while the observational group was additionally provided with action observation therapy for 8 weeks.Both groups were assessed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and the Barthel index (BI) before and after the 8 weeks of treatment and functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed before treatment.Two months after the treatment,nine patients of the experimental group and 8 of the control group who continued to receive their respective treatments after discharge were again assessed using functional magnetic resonance imaging.Results After the treatment the average FMA score and BI score of both the observational group and the control group had increased significantly.The increase in the average FMA score of the observational group was significantly greater than that of the control group.However,there was no significant difference between the two groups in the increases in BI score after 8 weeks of treatment.The fMRI results showed that there was a significantly greater rise in activity in the bilateral precentral gyrus,parietal lobe and the supplementary motor area of the patients in the observational group after the treatment compared with the control group.Conclusion Action observation therapy can improve upper extremity motor function and performance in the activities of daily living after ischemic stroke and induce changes in the excitability of the cerebral motor cortex.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the clinical effect of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture-bridge technique for full-thickness rotator cuff tears.Methods Forty-one patients (20 males,21 females; mean age 52.2 years) with full-thickness rotator cuff tears were treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture-bridge technique between June 2010 and January 2012 in our hospital.After arthroscopic rotator cuff repair,the patients were randomly assigned to a treatment group (21 patients) or a control group (20 patients).The treatment group received systematic rehabilitation therapy including rehabilitation education,physical modalities treatment and rehabilitative training additionally,while the control group only accepted the routine rehabilitation therapy including stretching and muscle strength training.The outcome was evaluated at 6 months after surgery,by employing visual analogae scale (VAS),the range of motion (ROM) testing of shoulder joint flexion and rotation,the rating scale of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA),and the shoulder index of American shoulder and elbow surgeons (ASES).Results The mean follow-up period was 15.6 months (8-24 months).Prior to intervention,there was no significant difference in any parameter between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Six months later,all scores of assessments changed:in treatment group VAS (1.7 ± 1.5),ROM [flexion (168.3±31.3)°,rotation (47.2±11.2)°],UCLA(30.7 ±4.13) and ASES (85.1 ±15.67); in control group VAS(3.8±2.2),ROM[flexion (121.2 ±53.6)°,rotation (32.9 ±14.9)°],UCLA(18.3 ±4.94) and ASES (36.4 ± 17.70).Significant changes occurred in both groups in all the parameters after treatment when compare to baseline (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy is an effective approach for improving motor ability of the shoulder in patients after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with suture-bridge technique for their full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
