Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the rehabilitation treatment on the motor function and activities of daily living(ADL) at different period after cerebral hemorrhage.Methods208 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into five groups according to the disease course(≤1 month, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-24 months). Two months before and after rehabilitation treatment, the motor function of the involved limb, ADL and ambulation were assessed.ResultsAfter treatment the motor function of upper and lower limbs and hands, ambulation and ADL of ≤1 month group were improved(P<0.05); except for the hand motor function, 1-3months and 3-6 months group were also improved(P<0.05); the ambulation and ADL of 6-12 months group were improved(P<0.05),but the motor function had no change; in 12-24 months group only ADL improved.Conclusions Rehabilitation treatment do benefit for stroke patients in different periods. Treatment emphasis should vary with the start time of rehabilitation treatment.
