ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of early rehabilitation and defibrase on the hemodynamic cerebral vascular dynamic index (CVDI) of hemiplegic patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Ninety hemiplegic patients with acute infarction were randomly divided into a rehabilitation and a control group. Both groups received defibrase routine treatment. The rehabilitation group received systematic rehabilitation training in addition. The Fugl-Meyer assessment ( FMA) , the Scandinavian Scoring Scale ( SSS) and Barthel's index ( MBI) were employed to evaluate the functioning of the two groups. The CVDIs of all patients were quantified before and after treatment. Results The FMA, MBI and SSS scores as well as the CVDIs of both groups had improved after 4 weeks of treatment, but all were more improved in the rehabilitation group than in the control group. Conclusions Early rehabilitation was effective for relieving neurological impairment and improving ability in the activities of daily living for patients with acute cerebral infarction.
