Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe effects of early rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments on stroke patients.Methods80 patients were randomly divided into rehabilitation group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases). Patients in rehabilitation group were treated with rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments; patients in control group were treated only with hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed by modified Barthel index (MBI), and the cognition function was measured by mimi-mental state examination (MMSE).ResultsAfter treatment the scores of MMSE and MBI of two groups increased (P<0.05) and scores of rehabilitation group were higher than that of control group (P<0.05); the process of scores in rehabibilitation group were obviously superior to that in control group (P<0.001).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation and hyperbaric oxygen treatments can obviously improve cognition function and ADL of stroke patients.
