Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of different models of rehabilitation education on stroke rehabilitation. Methods There were 35 stroke patients in group Ⅰ，40 patients in group Ⅱ. All the patients received the same rehabilitation treatment, but different model of rehabilitation education. They were evaluated with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) before and after treatment, and the incidence of complications were investigated. Results The FIM grade in all patients increased significantly after treatment (P<0.05), and increased more in the group Ⅱ (P<0.05). The incidence of shoulder pain/ shoulder subluxation, edema in hemiplegic extremity, muscle atrophy were a lower in the group Ⅱ than that in the groupⅠ (P<0.05). Conclusion Improving the model of rehabilitation education can improve the efficacy of stroke rehabilitation.
