Abstract: ObjectiveTo study the relationship between the activity of daily living (ADL) and the physiopsychic variables of the patients at early recovery stage after first stroke. Methods ADL and the motion activities, the deficient degree of nerve function, the cognitive function and the depressive degree of the 48 patients at early recovery stage after first stroke were evaluated. ResultsThere are significant relationship between ADL at early recovery stag and the motion activities, the deficient degree of nerve function, the cognitive function of the patients at acute period(P<0.01). Meanwhile, there are also relationship between ADL and the number of the cerebral lesion, the hemiplegic degree and the education degree of the patients (P<0.05) at early recovery stage.Conclusions The motion activities, the deficient degree of nerve function and the cognitive function of the stroke patients at acute stage are the important predictive factors to ADL of the patients at early recovery stage, and the number of the cerebral lesion, the hemiplegic degree and the educational level of the patients maybe influence ADL of the patients at the early recovery stage.
