Related factors of motive function and activities of daily living on stroke patients with community-based rehabilitation

Objective:To explore factors related to the community-based rehabilitation(CBR) outcomes of stroke patients in motive function and activities of daily living. Method: Two hundred and eighty-two patients with stroke were randomized into CBR group of 172 patients and controlled group of 110 patients. The patients in CBR group received rehabilitative treatment and follow-up therapy while the controlled group received following-up only. The modified Barthel index(MBI) and Clinical Neural Impairment Measures Scale(NIM) were applied to assess patients at the beginning of enrollment and after 5-month-long treatment respectively. Result:After 5-month-long treatment,compared to the controlled group,CBR group had a better outcome in NIM and ADL (P0.05). Compared to anamnesis of the CBR group,the new cases of the CBR group had a better outcome in NIM and ADL (P0.05). Conclusion: Community-based rehabilitation has a significant efficacy on the improvement of motive function and ADL; the earlier the patients receive the CBR,the better the improvement on motive function and ADL they will acquire.
