Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of goal-oriented repetitive training on motor function of upper limb in patients with stroke.Methods From March, 2014 to February, 2016, a total of 60 stroke patients were randomly divided into experiment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups received routine rehabilitation, while the experiment group received goal-oriented repetitive training in addition, 30 minutes once a day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. They were assessed with simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and modified Barthel index (MBI) before and after training.Results There was no difference in the scores of FMA-UE and MBI between two groups before training (Z<1.153, P>0.05). The scores of FMA-UE and MBI significantly improved in both groups after treatment (Z>5.645, P<0.001), in which the scores were higher in the experiment group than in the control group (Z>2.275, P<0.05), as well as the D-value of scores before and after training (t>5.770, P<0.001).Conclusion Goal-oriented repetitive training could promote the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients with stroke.
