Analysis and Discussion on the Effect of Early Rehabilitation on Motor Dysfunction in Patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the effect of early rehabilitation on motor dysfunction in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods: A total of 70 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to Suqian Zhongwu Hospital (our hospital) from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as research subjects. The participants were divided into two groups through envelopes. The patients of the reference group (n = 35) received conventional treatment whereas the observation group underwent early rehabilitation and conventional treatment (n = 35). The scores of limb motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment [FMA]), functional independence (Barthel Scale), and Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) of the two groups were compared. Results: There was no significant difference between the scores of the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05); after early rehabilitation, the FMA and Barthel scale scores of the observation group were higher than those of the reference group, and the MAS scores of the observation group were also better than the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Early rehabilitation treatment on the basis of conventional treatment for patients with acute cerebral infarction can promote the recovery of motor function and improve the ability to perform daily activities of patients, thus it should be popularized.
