“…[ 2 – 4 ] Studies have indicated that early rehabilitation therapy in CVA patients can effectively ameliorate movement function and promote the recovery and reconstruction of movement ability, thereby reducing the disability rate, effectively restore the patient's self-care ability, and physical and mental function, and improve the quality of life of patients. [ 5 – 7 ] The key to the success of rehabilitation therapy is to effectively restore lower limb movement function and ability for daily living activities and effectively restore the walking function of patients. [ 8 , 9 ] Thus, this study aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of systematic early rehabilitation therapy on the movement ability of hemiplegic lower extremity in patients with CVA via the simplified Fugl–Meyer motor function score, neurologic deficit score (NDS), Barthel index (BI), therapeutic effect, and satisfaction degree.…”

This study aims to investigate the efficacy of early rehabilitation therapy on the movement ability of hemiplegic lower extremity in patients with acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA).A total of 86 patients who suffered from acute CVA were selected and divided into 2 groups, according to random number tables: control group, and research group. Patients in the control group received routine primary therapy, while patients in the research group received rehabilitation based on the basic therapy. The recovery of hemiplegic limb movement ability and the improvement of daily living ability before and after treatment were evaluated using the simplified Fugl–Meyer assessment (FMA), neurologic deficit scale (NDS), and Barthel index (BI). After treatment, the clinical efficacy and satisfaction degree for treatment were compared.The FMA, NDS, and BI of patients in these 2 groups were distinctly ameliorated after treatment (P <.05). After treatment, the ameliorated degrees of FMA, NDS, and BI in the research group were obviously superior to those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P <.05). The total efficacy and satisfaction degree in the research group were evidently higher than those in the control group after early rehabilitation therapy, and the differences were statistically significant (P <.05).Early rehabilitation therapy can significantly ameliorate the movement ability of hemiplegic lower extremity in patients with acute CVA. Its therapeutic effect is remarkable. Hence, it is worthy of popularizing in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Studies demonstrate the benefits of aerobic cycling training in subacute and chronic stroke subjects, but there is a lack in the literature about its effects on the acute phase. OBJECTIVE: Verify the effects of aerobic cycling training on lower limbs muscle strength, gait speed, balance, mobility and functionality of acute stroke subjects. METHODS: Control group (CG) performed conventional physiotherapy twice a day and the intervention group (IG) performed a conventional physiotherapy and a cycle ergometer session, for five consecutive days. Subjects were assessed for muscle strength by a digital dynamometer, gait speed by the 10-meter-walk-test, balance by the Berg Balance Scale, mobility by the ICU-Mobility-Scale and functionality by the Perme Score. RESULTS: Twenty subjects were enrolled in the study, 10 in the CG and 10 in the IG. Lower limbs muscle strength, the main endpoint, was better in the IG compared to the CG. The same was found in the secondary endpoints. The intragroup analysis was also positive for the CG in the mobility and functionality. CONCLUSIONS: Conventional physiotherapy combined with cycling exercise showed better results in the improvement of muscle strength of lower limbs, mobility and functionality of subjects who suffered from acute stroke.

Background/aim The purpose of this study was to determine effect of age, sex, affected extremity, disability severity, treatment type, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) etiology, number of treatment sessions, and CVA duration on the functional improvement of the stroke patients who participated in a physical medicine and rehabilitation program. Materials and methods The research sample consisted of 322 stroke patients. Clinical and demographic features including age, sex, affected extremity, disability severity, treatment type, CVA etiology, number of treatment sessions, and CVA duration were recorded. Functional status was evaluated retrospectively by using the functional independence measure (FIM) at admission and discharge. Results It was detected that discharge FIM score of the patients exhibited an increase of significance level (p < 0.05). It was found that age, number of treatment sessions, CVA duration and FIM admission score were determinative parameters in FIM gain level (p < 0.05) while sex, affected extremity, and CVA etiology were not effective in FIM gain level (p > 0.05). Conclusion Results show that functional improvement after rehabilitation was better in the younger ages, shorter CVA durations and moderate functional disturbances. The findings obtained may be useful for stroke rehabilitation triage.
