Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of hyperuricemia on motor function, activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods120 patients with cerebral infarction were divided into control group (n=60) and hyperuricemia group (n=60). Two groups accepted the similar training of equal time and intensity, and were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). ResultsAfter 4 weeks training, the increase of score of FMA and MBI in the hyperuricemia group was obviously lower than in the control group (P<0.01). ConclusionHyperuricemia could adversely affect the discovery of motor function and ADL in patients with cerebral infarction who accepted rehabilitation.

Key words: cerebral infarction, hyperuricemia, motor function, activities of daily living
