Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the dynamic change of limb disability, self-care ability and related influencing factors in patients with acute cerebral infarction after reperfusion therapy for 6 months.
MethodsA total of 112 patients with acute cerebral infarction after reperfusion therapy in the department of neurology were selected using purposive sampling method.The clinical data of patients were collected.And the modified Rankin scale (mRS score) and Barthel index were used to evaluate the level of disability and the ability of daily living of the patients.Patients with mRS score 2-5 points were defined as disability, and the level of disability was correspondingly calculated.One-way analysis of variance was performed to analyze the influencing factors of patients' daily living ability.
ResultsThe results of patients' self-care ability 6 months after treatment showed that 61 patients (57.0%) were completely self-care, and the rest of the patients had varying degrees of self-care impairment.There were statistically significant differences in the total score of self-care ability among patients with or without atrial fibrillation, different onset ages, disease treatment methods, disease severity, and limb rehabilitation training (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).The disability rates of patients with acute cerebral infarction at 1, 3, and 6 months after reperfusion treatment were 44.86%, 40.19%, and 35.51%, respectively.The mRS results of 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment showed that the level of patients' physical disability could gradually decrease over time(P < 0.05).
ConclusionsThe level of disability in patients with acute cerebral infarction after reperfusion therapy can gradually recover over time, and motor function rehabilitation is an essential factor in the limb function recovery of patients.
