Abstract

Objective In order to study the effect of early rehabilitation on ADL in hemiplegics after stroke. Method 159 patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group(88 cases)and control group(71 cases).Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment;electric stimulation therapy(EST) and regularly physical therapy, while those in control group were given clinical treatment and unguided self-training, and the evaluation was done in pre-treatment and post-six-month respectively. ADL was assessed in Barthel Index (BI). Result The BI scores in each groups rised had a significant difference(P 0.001),the process of scores in the rehabilitation group were obviously superior to those in the control group(P 0.001). Conclusion Early rehabilitation training on hemiplgics after stroke may obviously improve ADL scores.
