| Objective: To explore the effect of the daily activities management on the recovery of activity of daily living (ADL) of the patients with stroke. Methods: Forty cases of stroke were randomized into a control group (20 cases) and an observation group (20 cases). Two groups both were given routine treatment, and the daily activities of the observation group were managed during the daily living time. Both groups were assessed in the items of dressing, transfer, walking, up and down stairs with Brunnstrom grading and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and 6 weeks after training. Results: After treatment for 6 weeks, Brunnstrom grading and scores of dressing, transfer, walking, up and down stairs of MBI were significantly improved in both two groups as compared with those before treatment (P<0.01), more obviously in the observation group than in the control group in Brunnstrom grading of lower limb and items of BMI (P<0.05). Conclusion: Daily living management can further improve the ADL of patients with stroke, and the method is simple and convenient to spread and use. |
