Abstract
Objective:To study the effects of rehabilitation on stroke patients with cognitive disorders.Method:A total of 48 stroke patients with cognitive disorders were randomly divided into training group and control group.The training group received general rehabilitation training and cognitive rehabilitation training.The control group received only general rehabilitation training.All patients were assessed with Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE),Fugl-Meyer scale(FMS) and modified Barthel index(MBI) to evaluate their cognition,movement function and activity of daily living(ADL) before training,as well as after 1-month and 2-month training.Result:There was no significant difference in cognition,movement functions and ADL between training group and control group before treatment(P0.05).The differences in the assessment of Brunnstrom scale and MBI between two groups after 1-month training were not significant(P0.05).The scores of Fugl-Meyer scale,MMSE and Barthel index of the training group after 2-month training were significantly higher than those of control group(P0.05).Conclusion:Cognitive rehabilitation therapy with general rehabilitation training could improve the cognitive function,movement functions and ADL of stroke patients.
