Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of early rehabilitation on neurological function and cerebral blood flow of patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods100 cases of acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the rehabilitation group(53 cases) and control group(47 cases).Both groups received the routine treatment;besides,patients in the rehabilitation group were treated with early rehabilitation training.The treatment efficacy was assessed by neurological function deficit evaluation,and the cerebral blood flow was measured by transcranial Doppler(TCD) before and 30 days after treatment.ResultsThe scores of neurological function deficit evaluation of all patients in each group decreased after treatment,but the scores of the rehabilitation group were obviously lower than that of the control group(P<0.01);and the results of TCD of the rehabilitation group were also superior to that of the control group(P<0.01).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation training may obviously improve neurological function and cerebral blood flow of patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Key words: acute cerebral infarction, early rehabilitation, neurological function, transcranial Doppler
