| Objective: To observe the effects of guiding upper limb coordination training for unilateral spatial neglect caused by stroke. Methods: 150 cases of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) caused by cerebral stroke were randomly divided into two groups (75 cases in each group). Both groups were given training aimed at USN, and observation group was subjected to guiding upper limb coordination training treatment additionally. USN, MBI, and FMA scores before and after treatment were evaluated and compared. Results: After two months of treatment, the number of positive rate of USN patients was significantly less than that before treatment (P<0.05), and that in observation group was less than in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, MBI and FMA scores in both two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in the observation group were significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: On the basis of conventional rehabilitation, combined use of guiding upper limb coordination training can effectively improve the ability of activities of daily living and ipsilateral athletic ability in USN patients. |
