| Objective:To Observe the effects of self-made wrist and finger board on the wrist and finger function recovery of stroke patients.Methods:Seventy-two patients were designed into control group and observation group (n=36 each).Both groups were treated by the conventional rehabilitation,and observation group wore self-made wrist and finger board additionally.The degree of spasm,hand function and range of motion of wrist were compared 4 and 12 weeks after treatment.Result:After treatment for 4 weeks,the degree of spasm in the observation group was obviously milder than in the control group and pretreatment (P<0.01).After treatment for 12 weeks,the degree of spasm in both two groups was significantly milder than that before and 4 weeks after treatment (P<0.01),and that in the observation group was significantly milder than in the control group (P<0.05).After treatment for 4 weeks,there was no significant difference in the hand function recovery between two groups.After treatment for 12 weeks,the hand function recovery in both two group was significantly better than that 4 weeks after treatment (P<0.01),and that in the observation group was better than in the control group (P<0.05).After treatment for 4 weeks,the range of motion of wrist in both two groups was obviously greater than pretreatment (P<0.05),and that in the observation group was significantly increased as compared with that in the control group (P<0.05),and at 12th week after treatment,the range of motion of writs in the observation group was significantly increased as compared with that pretreatment and in the control group (P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the range of motion of wrist in comparison to that at 4th week after treatment in the control group.Conclusion:The self made wrist and finger board in combination with conventional rehabilitation can improve spasm,wrist and hand function. |
