INFLUÊNCIAS DA ENFERMAGEM NA RECUPERAÇÃO DA FUNÇÃO MOTORA EM PACIENTES COM HEMIPLEGIA PÓS-AVE

INFLUENCIAS DE LA ENFERMERÍA EN LA RECUPERACIÓN DE LA FUNCIÓN MOTORA EN PACIENTES CON HEMIPLEJIA POST ICTUS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The motor function of the lower limbs is of great importance for the recovery of hemiplegics post stroke.

Objective:

Study the influence of nursing during motor rehabilitation on the recovery of lower limb motor function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Methods:

In this study, the 28 patients were treated with nursing intervention for motor rehabilitation in the experimental group, while the control group was treated only with a conventional rehabilitation program, and the results were compared before and after the experiment.

Results:

After eight weeks of the experiment, the FMA-LE scale score in the experimental group increased from 19.65 to 30.51; the TUGT assessment score increased from 38.45s to 28.61s; the FAC rating test was upgraded from 1.86 to 2.98. The maximum weight percentage on the hemiplegic side increased from 27.54±10.14% to 79.51±7.52%; the fastest 5m return speed increased from 0.22±0.03m/s to 0.54±0.07m/s. The improvement effect was less evident in the control group.

Conclusion:

Rehabilitation nursing promotes a positive effect on improving lower limb motor function in hemiplegic patients. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
