ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of intelligent rehabilitation training system on upper limb and hand function in patients with stroke. Methods:From December, 2018 to December, 2019, 68 stroke patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 34) and experimental group (n = 34). Both groups were treated with conventional physical and occupational therapy, and scalp acupuncture, while the experimental group accepted intelligent rehabilitation training in addition, for eight weeks. Before treatment and after one week, four weeks and eight weeks of treatment, both group were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Upper Extermities Functional Test (UEFT) and modified Barthel Index (MBI). Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of FMA-UE, UEFT and MBI between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, all scores increased in both groups (F > 11.676, P < 0.001). Four weeks and eight weeks after treatment, all scores were higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.122, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Intelligent rehabilitation training system could improve the upper limb and hand function and activities of daily living in stroke patients.
