Influence of normal position on the patients with cerebral infarction hemiplegy in early stage of rehabilitation

Objective To explore the influences of normal limb position in hemiplegic limb complications,motor functions,or activities of daily living(ADL) on patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 350 cases were randomly divided into patient group and control group(170 cases in patient group,180 cases in control group).Both groups were treated with conventional therapy and neurological rehabilitation.For the study group,normal limb position was required.After 4 weeks,the scores of complications,motor function and the ADL were compared between two groups.Results The complication rate of study group was significantly lower than that of control group.There was significant difference in scores of motor function and the ADL between two groups.Conclusions Normal limb position is effective for prevention of joint contracture and reduction of complications in patients with hemiplegia.It can also promote the rehabilitation of paralyzed limb and improve the quality of life.
