EFEITO DO EXERCÍCIO NA REABILITAÇÃO PRECOCE DE PACIENTES COM DESORDENS NEUROLÓGICAS

EFECTO DEL EJERCICIO EN LA REHABILITACIÓN TEMPRANA DE PACIENTES CON TRASTORNOS NEUROLÓGICOS

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Acute cerebral infarction refers to the deficiency of the blood supply to the brain and the damage of tissue function.

Objective:

To study the effect of exercise training in early rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia treated in the neurology department.

Methods:

Ninety-six patients with acute cerebral infarction hemiplegia were studied. According to the order of admission, 96 patients were divided into a control group and an early recovery group, with 48 patients in each group.

Results:

Before early rehabilitation, there was no statistical significance in NIHSS and FUGL-Meyer scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After early rehabilitation,the NIHSS score of early rehabilitation group was lower than both its pre-early-rehab score and the control group score, while the FUGL-Meyer score was higher than both its pre-early-rehab and the control group score (P<0.05). Before early rehabilitation, there was no significant difference in the GQOLI-74 score between the two groups (P > 0.05). After early rehabilitation, the GQOLI-74 score was higher in the early rehabilitation group than both its pre-early-rehab score and the control group score (P<0.05).

Conclusions:

The clinical effect of early rehabilitation training in acute cerebral infarction patients with hemiplegia is significant and can further improve the clinical treatment of patients and their quality of life. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
